Mindful drinking
We believe that mocktails are increasingly popular thanks to the concerns of health-conscious millennials. Since the introduction of plant-based meats, we have also seen a surge in the consumption of non-alcoholic drinks because many people are more mindful when it comes to what they put in their bodies. When the pandemic hit, people stayed at home and focused on their health, so there were significant changes in their drinking habits partly due to guests stopping going to bars and restaurants. Furthermore, we have seen a major market shift toward low-alcohol and alcohol-free drinks.
Colorful concoctions
Layered drinks are in fashion, as are colorful and Instagrammable drinks. We have developed new mocktails to keep up with these trends. Most restaurants are now offering tasty mocktails for those who want to socialize without consuming too much alcohol. We think that many bars are responding to this global shift by providing alcoholic and non-alcoholic versions of their drinks.
New releases
We use Monin and Bon Accord in our drinks. The Apple and Feijoa Caipirinha and the Layered Roberts mocktails we serve are a hit with new guests and existing ones. Our cotton candy mocktail is a top choice among millennials because of the wow factor. Most of our mocktails actually look like cocktails from a presentation perspective, so our guests can feel that they are drinking alcoholic drinks even when they’re not.
Safety first
One of the advantages of offering mocktails is that they’re safe. Since these drinks don’t contain alcohol, literally anyone can order and enjoy them without unwanted side effects.
