‘I’m not paying that much for juice!’ A Woman’s Video About Mocktails Got People Talking About How Expensive They Are

Have you tried a mocktail yet?

A drink that looks like a traditional cocktail but doesn’t have any booze in it?

As more and more people choose the sober life or just want a break from drinking, mocktails have become quite popular all over the country as of late.

A woman named Olivia posted a video where she talked about mocktails and she said the first ones she ordered after she stopped drinking al**hol were “literally fruit juice in a Mai Tai glass.”

Olivia also said that she felt like people singled her out for not partaking and she said, “Oh you don’t drink? Let me make it 10 times more obvious to everyone around you.”

Because of her negative mocktail experiences, Olivia shared a video of how to make a non-boozy Cherry and Thyme Ranch Water recipe with viewers.

She said, “My contribution to a growing list of delicious NA beverages.”

While there’s a lot more to NA drinks than just juice, they should cost less.
