A good mocktail should get the same attention as the cocktail next to it.
ย Yesterdayโs bar setup included a blueberry lemonade mocktail made with house-made syrups, garnished ahead of time so itโs ready the second the rush hits.
No oneโs waiting on a drink just because they skipped the alcohol.
Mocktail or the real thing, what are you reaching for first?
