Why Mocktails?

Spread the love

Alcohol has been a social lubricant for centuries. Recently, I’ve heard many people mention that they wished that the use of alcohol wasn’t so ingrained in our society for a variety of reasons. Maybe they are recovering alcoholics or have a family history of alcohol, perhaps they are pregnant or nursing, or maybe they just don’t like the effects of alcohol. Regardless of the reason, more and more people are looking for alternatives to the standard cocktail. In fact, in several large cities, there are now mocktail bars that are popping up in a response to this shifting trend.

Personally, I bartender for over 6 years in various places around New York City and have always loved finding different combinations of flavors to create a tasty drink. However, as I got older I started laying off the alcohol and started to experiment with juices, fruits, herbs, and more. It’s honestly as fun, if not more, than making my own cocktail! The goal of this site is to create a wide variety of drinks. Some of these will be non-alcoholic takes on classic cocktails while others will be brand new. I hope that you enjoy the recipes and please follow me on Instagram to see some behind-the-scenes of the mocktail creation process.
