Non-alcoholic ‘Mocktails’ Growing in Popularity
Bandrovschi was urged by a friend to stop drinking alcohol for a month and she agreed. She claimed that she was not really a drinker so it was easy for her. Little did she know, she was able to realize that it is not only easy to do away from alcohol but, is also more enjoyable for her to go out with friends without drinking alcohol. With this, she decided to open Listen Bar, one among the growing number of alcohol-free bars in the United States. These bars are popular for their ‘mocktails’. Mocktail is a wordplay from the word ‘cocktail’. This is usually an iced drink made with any of various ingredients such as juice, herbs, and soda water, but without alcohol. This has become popular these days especially for young people. According to Amanda Topper, an international market researcher, this led to fewer people drinking alcohol in public places and providing women with safer and more enjoyable bars. The idea of mocktails is not just confined to alcohol-free bars as some regular bars are serving them too. Traditional suppliers are also becoming part of the movement. Even beer suppliers are trying to venture into non-alcoholic drinks. The idea is to promote a community wherein people can socialize without the need for alcoholic drinks.
