The Sonoran Desert
Our Provenance
In developing Parch™, we studied ancient beverages, rituals and botanical infusions across Mexico and the Southwestern US, drawing inspiration from traditional plant-based beverages enjoyed as alternatives to alcohol. Our distinctive adult beverages are inspired by the Sonoran Desert and the lush biodiversity it keeps. Each sip offers complex flavors from unique pairings of desert ingredients, based on the ethos that “what grows together, goes together."
Our Pledge
1% to the desert
We have partnered with ethno-botanist Jesus Garcia at The Mission Garden in Tucson Arizona to donate 1% of our profits to help support their mission of maintaining the lush biodiversity of the sonoran desert.
The garden contains over a dozen distinct multi-cultural, ethno-agricultural heritage plots,each representing one of the many ethnic groups that farmed the Tucson basin over the last four millennia. Crops from these plots have proven to be productive, sustainable and well-adapted to this clmate and location.

Sonoran Sea Salt
We use native, sustainable & mineral-rich Sonoran Sea Salt which enhances the depth, complexity and taste of our cocktails whilst also celebrating our ethos & recipe philosophy 'what grows together goes together'. This Sea Salt is harvested at an inland lagoon located in a remote and pristine estuary on the Sea of Cortez in Baja California, one of the most biologically diverse and mineral-rich bodies of water on earth.
Our Founders
At PARCH we believe everyone (regardless of if they drink alcohol or not) deserves great tasting, carefully crafted, complex beverages blended in harmony with nature. We created PARCH as a refreshing, curious and credible alternative to alcohol by replacing ethanol with active adaptogens for a healthier approach to stress relief, indulgence and enjoyment.
