You’re out for dinner and drinks with friends. Everyone is ordering a cocktail, but you’re not in the mood. Maybe you’re taking medicine. Maybe you had drinks the night before. Or maybe you’re just being more health conscious.
Whatever the reason, it used to be your options were a soda – perhaps a ginger ale – or a non-alcoholic beer or – God forbid – a glass of water. But where’s the fun in that? Just because you aren’t drinking doesn’t mean you shouldn’t join in the revelry.
That’s where mocktails – or spirit-free cocktails – come in. You can’t swing a blue cheese stuffed olive without spotting more and more non-alcoholic options on beverage menus.
Our friends at Ashburn Magazine spoke with the beverage director for Clyde’s Willow Creek Farm in Ashburn and the other Clyde’s locations.
He shared some interesting background about the growing popularity of the mocktail. Click here for the rest of the story.
