Mocktails
Team-building doesn’t have to mean ropes courses or PowerPoint decks.
Sometimes, all it takes is a well-crafted beverage.
A great mocktail is built with intention. Like strategy, it’s layered. It requires clarity, curiosity, and confidence.
In our hands-on workshops, teams build custom mocktails while working through the principles of design thinking. Our retail customers can enjoy DIY mocktail mix versions of these creative blends, thanks to recipes designed by our drinks partner, the NA Sommelier.
