About these mocktails
Being the designated driver should not mean being stuck with a glass of water while everyone else is having a proper drink. This collection emphasises mocktails that feel adult, complex, and interesting: bitter aperitifs made alcohol-free, savoury mocktails, grown-up flavors that stand up to a cocktail menu.
When you hand the DD one of these, they do not feel like they are missing out; they feel like they are being looked after. Perfect for restaurants, bars, and dinner parties where the DD deserves equal footing.
