Mocktails, or non-alcoholic cocktails, have been growing in popularity in recent years. Not only are they a healthier alternative to alcoholic drinks, but they can also be just as delicious and refreshing.
If you are living in Boca Raton or the South Florida area or considering making a move here we have sooo many wonderful establishments to try in regard to food and beverages, including mocktails!
Trending
Dry January, a popular trend where people give up alcohol for the first month of the year, has become a common New Year’s resolution. However, some people have adopted this trend as a lifestyle change and choose to participate in a “dry” lifestyle all year round.
With the growing popularity of mocktails and non-alcoholic drinks, it’s easier than ever to maintain a “dry” lifestyle and still enjoy delicious and refreshing drinks.
Mocktail Vibes
One thing I have noticed as well, is that at the real estate conferences I attend, the popularity of non-alcoholic drinks, mocktails and delicious cold beverages is definitely on the rise and I am very happy to see these options being made available.
This is a wonderful option to offer at events and parties especially for those that are sober and do not drink.
