Planning a baby shower means thinking about every detail—from the menu and décor to the games and favors. But one part of the celebration is often overlooked: the drinks.
Traditionally, baby showers have featured juice, punch, soda, or sparkling cider for the guest of honor while everyone else enjoys mimosas or champagne. Today, more hosts are looking for beverages that everyone can enjoy together, regardless of whether they're pregnant, don't drink alcohol, or simply prefer a sophisticated non-alcoholic option.
The best baby shower drinks don't separate guests—they bring everyone together.
In this guide, we'll share some of the best beverages to serve at a baby shower, along with ideas for creating a drink menu that feels thoughtful, elevated, and welcoming for everyone.

What Makes a Great Baby Shower Drink?
The best baby shower beverages have a few things in common.
They should be:
* Refreshing
* Easy to serve
* Beautiful in a glass
* Appropriate for guests of all ages
* Suitable for guests who don't drink alcohol
* Festive enough for a celebration
Most importantly, they should help every guest feel included—not like they're drinking a "replacement."
That's why many hosts are moving away from serving champagne for some guests and juice for others. Instead, they're choosing one sophisticated beverage everyone can enjoy together.
1. Premium Alcohol-Free Sparkling Beverages
If there's one drink that belongs at a baby shower, it's a premium alcohol-free sparkling beverage.
A baby shower is all about celebrating one of life's biggest milestones, and nothing says "celebration" quite like the pop of a cork and a toast.
TÖST was created for moments exactly like these. Crafted from premium white tea, white cranberry, ginger, and botanicals, it delivers a crisp, dry flavor that feels sophisticated without being overly sweet.
Rather than serving one drink for the guest of honor and another for everyone else, TÖST gives every guest the same elevated experience. It's a simple way to make everyone feel included while creating a more memorable celebration.
Perfect for:
* Welcome drinks
* Toasts
* Brunch buffets
* Dessert tables
* Serving alongside champagne—or instead of it

2. Infused Sparkling Water
For guests looking for something light and refreshing, infused sparkling water is an easy addition to your beverage station.
Try combinations like:
* Lemon + rosemary
* Strawberry + basil
* Cucumber + mint
* Orange + thyme
These pair beautifully alongside TÖST, giving guests another refreshing option without complicating your menu.
3. Signature Mocktail
A signature mocktail adds a fun, personal touch to any baby shower.
Consider creating a drink inspired by the parents-to-be or the shower theme, such as:
* Peach Bellini Mocktail
* Berry Citrus Spritz
* Lavender Lemon Fizz
* Watermelon Mint Sparkler
Because mocktails take time to prepare, many hosts pair them with bottles of TÖST so guests have an elegant ready-to-pour option throughout the celebration.
4. Fresh Lemonade or Iced Tea
Classic doesn't have to mean boring.
Homemade lemonade or iced tea served in glass dispensers works especially well for daytime or outdoor showers.
These beverages round out your drink station nicely, while TÖST remains the celebratory centerpiece for toasts and special moments.
5. Coffee and Tea Station
Especially for brunch or morning showers, a coffee and tea bar gives guests another beverage option.
Include:
* Regular coffee
* Decaf coffee
* Hot tea
* Herbal tea
* Oat milk and dairy options
* Flavored syrups
Offering a few complementary beverages alongside TÖST ensures there's something for everyone throughout the event.
Tips for Creating a Beautiful Baby Shower Drink Station
Presentation can make even simple beverages feel special.
Here are a few easy ways to elevate your drink station:
* Serve sparkling beverages in champagne flutes or stemless wine glasses.
* Garnish drinks with fresh citrus, berries, rosemary, or mint.
* Add edible flowers for a festive touch.
* Label each beverage with elegant signs.
* Include both sparkling and still options.
* Keep plenty of ice and glassware within easy reach.
A well-designed drink station becomes part of the décor while encouraging guests to gather, mingle, and celebrate.
Don't Forget the Toast
One of the sweetest moments at many baby showers is when family and friends raise a glass to celebrate the parents-to-be.
Instead of pouring champagne for some guests and juice for others, consider serving TÖST to everyone.
Not only does it create a more inclusive experience, but it also makes the guest of honor feel like part of the celebration—not someone drinking a substitute while everyone else enjoys the "real" toast.
Sometimes the smallest hosting decisions leave the biggest impression.
Planning Drinks Based on Your Shower Style
Brunch Baby Shower
Pair TÖST with pastries, quiche, fresh fruit, and yogurt parfaits for an elegant brunch menu. TÖST Rosé is especially well suited for spring celebrations and lighter fare.
Garden Party
Offer TÖST as the welcome drink, then complement it with infused sparkling water and lemonade throughout the afternoon.
Elegant Afternoon Shower
Serve TÖST in champagne flutes alongside tea sandwiches, charcuterie, seasonal fruit, and desserts for a polished, elevated experience.
Co-Ed Baby Shower
Rather than managing separate alcoholic and non-alcoholic drink stations, consider making TÖST the featured sparkling beverage and supplementing it with sparkling water, coffee, tea, and a signature mocktail.
Why More Hosts Are Choosing One Drink for Everyone
The best hosts think about every guest.
Rather than creating separate experiences—champagne for some, juice for others—many are choosing one premium beverage everyone can enjoy together.
That approach makes the celebration feel more inclusive, simplifies planning, and creates a shared experience around every toast.
Whether someone is pregnant, sober curious, taking a break from alcohol, or simply prefers not to drink, everyone deserves something thoughtful in their glass.
Celebrate Together
The best baby showers aren't about elaborate decorations or complicated menus—they're about bringing people together.
When everyone is holding the same beautiful glass, sharing the same toast, and celebrating the same milestone, the moment feels more connected.
That's what makes TÖST such a natural fit for baby showers. It's not just an alcohol-free option for the guest of honor—it's a drink designed to be shared with everyone around the table.
