As Determined by TWM: Best Places to Get Mocktails

A lot of our culture revolves around gathering to eat and to drink. But what do you do if you don’t drink? Ordering a club soda or a Shirley Temple gets very old, very quickly. Recently, a Tanglewood Moms asked for people’s recommendations for places with great mocktails, and of course, the members had some GREAT recommendations. We’ve gathered them together here, along with some of our favorites,  so print out this list for your next time out!

Please note, not all of these places have mocktails on the menu; however, the bartenders at these establishments are happy to make you a delicious mocktail!

Beth Hutson, the genius behind Elevated Elixer and guest author in the 2019 Food & Holiday issue of Madeworthy, says that she recommends asking the bartender wherever you are what they can do for you. As a former bartender myself, I enjoyed making new and delicious drinks, both with and without alcohol, for my patrons. Bartenders are inherently people pleasers, so don’t be afraid to ask!
