Mommenpop turns ordinary moments into extraordinary ones. When winemaker Samantha Sheehan landed in Napa, she made a name for herself with top-notch wines. But it was a chance encounter with a neighbor’s basket of just-picked Seville oranges that sparked something magical. By tossing the hand-cut citrus, seeds, rind, and all, into freshly-harvested Chardonnay, Sam created a California twist on the classic aperitif - zippy, juicy, and oh-so-refreshing. What started as a small batch for friends quickly grew, and with the addition of her partner Michael’s packaging design, MOMMENPOP - a citrus aperitif made from wine - was born.

Mommenpop Apéritifs are California-made, wine-based apéritifs crafted with peak-season citrus, minimal sugar, and no additives. They’re bright, refreshing, and easy to sip - perfect for low-ABV cocktails or over ice.

Why You’ll Love It:

• Bursting with real citrus flavor

• No artificial anything

• Naturally lower alcohol

• Simple, clean, delicious

• Great for daytime sipping or spritzes

Available Flavors: Seville Orange, Blood Orange, Ruby Grapefruit, and the "Pops" - Lime-Pop and Spritz-Pop.

🍊 Seville Orange
Zesty, slightly bitter, and beautifully aromatic. Think sophisticated marmalade meets crisp white wine. Perfect for a classic spritz or over ice with a twist.

🍊 Blood Orange
Juicy, ruby-toned, and richly aromatic with a balance of tart and sweet. Makes an eye-catching cocktail and pairs especially well with tonic or soda.

🍑 Ruby Grapefruit
Lively, refreshing, and slightly pithy—like the freshest pink grapefruit juice, but more elegant. Great in Paloma-inspired spritzes or simply chilled.
