Why coffee mocktails are taking over
Redefining coffee: Espresso and cappuccino are just the beginning. Coffee lovers are now exploring specialty beans from around the globe, discovering complex flavours and aromas. Coffee mocktails elevate these beans, pairing them with unique ingredients to create drinks that surprise and delight.
Healthy, alcohol-free culture: As more people embrace wellness and reduce alcohol consumption, coffee mocktails offer a sophisticated, guilt-free alternative. They combine the natural energy and taste of coffee with fresh, flavourful ingredients for a drink that’s both healthy and indulgent.
Creativity and mixology: Baristas are pushing the boundaries of what coffee can be, experimenting with new beans, extraction methods, spices, fruits, and premium syrups. Each mocktail is a miniature work of art, limited only by the imagination of its creator.
