Why is everyone talking about non-alcoholic cocktails?
Mocktails, a term born from the fusion of “mock” and “cocktail,” are alcohol-free mixed drinks that are just as sophisticated and tasty. This new drink formula is winning over audiences – especially Gen Z – because of the combination of goodness and health.
More and more bars and clubs are expanding their offerings by serving non-alcoholic alternatives. In addition to the classic Virgin Mojito and Virgin Moscow Mule, today’s most popular mocktails are those in detox variants made from plant-based drinks: a refined option for those who want to enjoy an uncompromising drink.
A Social Media phenomenon
Mocktails are not only starring on menus, but are also popular on social networks. On TikTok, for example, videos dedicated to these drinks exceed 200 thousand views. A case in point is the Sleepy Girl Mocktail, a mix of seltz, black cherry juice and magnesium, which has gone viral as a cool alternative to chamomile tea.
How to make a perfect mocktail?
The secret lies in the choice of ingredients. Natural syrups, plant-based drinks, fresh fruit juices and spices combine to create balanced and refreshing mixes. Increasingly refined no-alcohol spirits also play a key role, thanks to the use of botanical extracts and refined infusions.

The growing demand for mocktails proves that the art of mixing can exist without alcohol, offering customers unique and sophisticated taste experiences.
