Fairfield, Calif.-based Jelly Belly tips its hat to the classic cocktail with the introduction of Jelly Belly Classic Cocktails flavors. Jelly Belly bean mixologists blended ingredients in a perfect balance to transport you to the golden age of the cocktail. They left out the distilled spirits so these "mocktails" have all the flavors and none of the hangover.

Gluten-free, dairy-free, gelatin-free, vegetarian and OU Kosher, varieties include: Mojito, the traditional Cuban drink with mint, rum and lime; Pomegranate Cosmo, made trendy by the actresses of Sex and the City, this oh-so-chic bean is a pink bombshell made with real pomegranate juice; and Peach Bellini. The last, invented in 1943 at Harry's Bar in Venice, Italy, this classic combo of peaches and champagne is a must for brunch.

These three new flavors join three other cocktail classics that have been in the Jelly Belly line for two decades: Margarita, made with agave (the stuff that gives tequila its flavor), lime and a hint of salt; Pina Colada, real coconut flakes and pineapple juice concentrate add up to a quintessential umbrella drink; and Strawberry Daiquiri, frosty with a base of lime and fresh strawberry notes.

Whether you say cheers, cin-cin, salute or bottoms up, Cocktail Classics non-alcoholic collection of Jelly Belly jelly beans are the toast of the town. Let the celebrations begin.
