The history of mocktails has caused the taste of beverages to get better. It's been great to see the trend of non-alcoholic beverages breaking into the marketplace. Even more, these are alcohol free beverages that actually tastes good! It has a refreshing taste, is alcohol free and has low calories.
A mocktail is an imitation of a cocktail because it has everything that gives a cocktail its satisfying flavor without the use of any alcohol. Instead, a mocktail gets its flavor from mixtures of infused waters, juices, sodas, and other exciting ingredients. Done with thought and in the correct ratios, some mocktails can even mimic your favorite alcohol.
Historically, Shirley Temple was probably the first popular mocktail. As disappointing as it might be, there’s not exactly a definitive start to the history of mocktails. It’s likely that humans have been creating non-alcoholic counterparts since the alcoholic versions were invented and drinking water was safe. Merriam-Webster says the word was used in 1916. That being said, the first perhaps popularized mocktail that went by that term is likely the Shirley Temple.
Many different locations claim to have created the Shirley Temple mocktail when the starlet of the same name stopped through their establishment. However, according to an interview with NPR, Shirley Temple Black admitted that the mocktail was “created in the 1930s by the Brown Derby Restaurant in Hollywood, and [she] had nothing to do with it.”
To be clear, not all mocktails taste like sweet Shirley Temples. Many restaurants, bars, and beverage lines are starting to offer healthier mocktails as drink alternatives. These tasty beverages bring in a depth of flavor and sophistication that previously didn’t exist. In other words, the right mocktail can leave you sober and delight your taste buds.
Why do we love Mocktails?
Mocktail beverages, or alcohol-free cocktails can be enjoyed anywhere you would typically enjoy a traditional cocktail. Unlike alcohol, Mocktails allow you to maintain control over your actions and appearance while still enjoying the great taste of cocktails and socializing. However, just because something doesn’t contain alcohol as an ingredient shouldn’t mean its consumers have to sacrifice quality or experience. If you’re the designated driver, a momma-on-duty, or practicing sobriety you deserve to still feel like an adult with a classy cocktail. Grabbing a mocktail is not only responsible, but also a healthier choice for your body. Try a mocktail and feel confident about your choices!
