Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2023 Summer Mocktails Mixoff event.

The Mocktails Mixoff mission is to bring public awareness of the importance of celebration options. Mocktails not just cocktails. An effort to encourage local hotspots to put non-alcoholic beverages on their drink menus.
