Mocktail Tips from the Grocer

  • Glassware sets the mood: A spritz in a wine glass or fizz in a flute elevates the experience.

  • Garnish thoughtfully: Citrus wheels, cherries, herbs, and even edible flowers bring mocktails to life.

  • Use real ingredients: Natural juices, premium syrups, and quality mixers make all the difference.
