“Mocktails are awesome because they ask the question ‘How much could juice cost?’”
A “mocktail” is a non-alcoholic cocktail. It should be priced like juice, but it’s often priced like a regular cocktail.

I mean they’re really just juice ...” was posted on X/Twitter by Molly Ott on May 14, 2018. “Mocktails should not cost as much as the actual drink.

Like if you wanted juice you’d order that. Mocktails are mostly 1)bartender labor and 2)fresh ingredient cost. If you don’t like the price JUST ORDER JUICE

The fact that they’re making mocktails only slightly less $$ than cocktails is insane…the cost is in liquor not the effort of mixing juice correct?

Remember when “mocktails” were called “mixed fruit juice” and they cost like a 6th of the price?
Perception changes everything.

One day we all need to have a talk about how Mocktails are just juice and shouldn’t cost more than alcoholic beverages.
