🍸 Why does the term “Mocktail” for zero proof non-alcoholic drinks offend many bartenders❓

🎙️ On the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, you’ll hear the stories and tips that answer those questions in our chat with Elva Ramirez author of the award-winning books "Sparkling" and "Zero Proof."

🔗 See link in the comments below 👇 as well as in the bio.

www.nataliemaclean.com/blog/podcast/why-does-the-term-mocktail-for-zero-proof-non-alcoholic-drinks-offend-many-bartenders/

📖 Elva says she doesn’t mind the word “mocktail,” but most bartenders prefer “Zero Proof,” also the title of her book. “Mock” implies something lesser, and these drinks aren’t imitations.

👩‍🍳 She says they often demand just as much creativity and care as alcoholic ones, like a chef crafting a vegan dish that’s still refined and beautiful.

💵 Are high-end non-alcoholic drinks worth the price?

👩‍🍳 Elva says people often question a $16 non-alcoholic drink without seeing the work behind it.

🥒 Top bars spend days preparing ingredients and crafting tinctures.

🗽 These drinks are made with the same care as cocktails, and the price reflects the labour, as at a New York pop-up where one drink took three days to prepare.

🍊 What is the bartenders’ secret to great citrus-based cocktails like Margaritas or Mimosas?

🍋 Elva says good bars always use fresh juice, discarding or repurposing leftovers the next day. Citrus breaks down fast, and the difference in taste is obvious.

✨ Every bartender has a limit, some four hours, others twelve, but never a full day.

🥤 Her advice for home hosts is to always squeeze citrus fresh for drinks like margaritas or mimosas.

🌿 How do bartenders redefine a crafted cocktail without alcohol?

⚖️ Elva says bartenders are pushing boundaries by removing alcohol while keeping cocktails balanced.

💡 They experiment with teas, ferments, and other flavours, inspiring her book Zero Proof, which celebrates skill, innovation, and inclusivity in mixology.

🍹 Do you think we should change the term mocktail to “Zero Proof” cocktail❓
