It may surprise you to learn that I really cant stand what the word mocktail used to meanthe old super-sweet concoctions made only with sweetened sodas, juices, syrups, and pures. At Mocktail Beverages, we are thrilled to be stretching the limits of what is possible with our head mixologist Ezra Star and our team of very talented people, and we are equally thrilled to be among the first businesses bringing this new industry to life. We stand in good company, as evidenced by some of the amazing drinks in the pages ahead.

It may also surprise you that I and many of our employees do drink alcohol. I enjoy a cocktail before dining out, a glass of wine occasionally with dinner, or a beer just because it hits the spot. I enjoy the experience and the taste of alcohol, and, while I did overdo it a bit when I was young, I never felt like I was addicted. I had fun, loved the wine tours and cocktail parties, and have great memories of business outings and events with family and friends. All that is to saynothing we do is against alcohol because many of us are drinkers, too. We are flexitarians, moderates, and innovators that stand for a healthy lifestyle and the beliefs that great food and drinks with family and friends adds to the quality of life and that moderation is essential in all areas of life.

Even just ten years ago uttering the phrase Im not drinking tonight at a social event could create so many questions and so much awkwardness that many people often chose to avoid the subject altogether by simply not going out. Anyone not drinking in the past suffered through the less than great experience of being limited to water, soda, or iced tea while it felt like everyone else in the room enjoyed a craft beer or inventive cocktail. The questions from others were often uncomfortable or downright invasive: are you okay, are you on medication, are you pregnant, etc. Most people trying to avoid alcohol or even just drink less of it felt alone and separated at many social occasions.

Not only are we not alone, but were the vast majority! These types of stories have been repeated often as people have started to publicly share their common need for better, more inclusive ways to be social. Still today, however, 99% of all hospitality locations include only soft drinks, iced tea, or supersweet juice mixes on their menus. WHY is this change so difficult?

We must remember that throughout human history and across many cultures, it has been important to bond over the traditions of breaking bread and sharing drinks. Feasts and celebrations of all sorts for centuries included alcohol and when people gather in modern times to celebrate, break bread, bond, and get to know each other, it still includes alcohol and always will. But the world is evolving and will continue to do so for years to come. More and more people are realizing that athletes, designated drivers, those who are pregnant, those on medications, members of certain religions, people in substance abuse recovery, and those simply choosing not to drink alcohol for any number of reasons need to be included in these important community events. From a business perspective, we believe that we are doing well by doing goodit makes good business sense and is the right thing to do to provide everyone with a worthy drink experience and not separate people based on whether alcohol is in their glass.

Moderation is normal and many are seeking helpful guides to aid their moderation. This book is a recipe collection, but it can also be used as a pathway to bring people together so everyone can enjoy the party. The pages ahead will help to extend the movement beyond a few talented mixologists to the millions of people at home looking for ways to re-engage with guests and serve drinks that are equally delicious and inspired whether they are alcoholic or not. Enjoy the incredible cocktails in the pages to follow!
