Mocktails
Mixed drinks built without alcohol, using flavour, aroma, acidity, sweetness, bitterness and texture rather than simply copying alcoholic cocktails.

Understanding Mocktails
A good mocktail is designed as a complete drink. Citrus, herbs, tea, fruit, spices, bitter flavours and carbonation can create complexity without relying on alcohol.
What to notice
Look for balance, freshness, aroma, sweetness and texture. The best examples should feel intentional rather than like ordinary juice with a garnish.
