Mocktails
Also known as: non-alcoholic cocktails, virgin cocktails, zero drinks
In short
A mocktail is a cocktail with no alcohol at all: the same passion, the same freshness, just without the proof. At our bar you get real cocktail quality in your glass, whether you are the designated driver, pregnant, staying sober or simply in the mood for something delicious without alcohol.
In depth
What is a mocktail?
A mocktail is a non-alcoholic mixed drink prepared with the same care as a classic cocktail: fresh fruit, juices, syrups, sparkling water and often a fine balance of sweet, sour and bitter. The name combines "mock" (English for "imitation") with "cocktail". But there is nothing second-rate about it, quite the opposite: a good mocktail is not a compromise, it is a full-flavoured experience in its own right.
Why mocktails are seriously good
For anyone skipping alcohol, the options used to be pretty underwhelming: a juice spritzer or a water with lemon. Thankfully, those days are over. Mocktails are creative, colourful and surprisingly diverse, because the bar scene has really stepped up its game in recent years.
There are plenty of good reasons to order a mocktail:
- You are driving or cycling and want to stay safe on the road
- You are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication
- You want to keep a clear head on a long night out
- You simply fancy a great drink without alcohol
And the best part: you do not have to explain yourself. These days a mocktail is a natural first choice, not a substitute.
What we raise our glasses to
At the 100 GRAMM Lounge we have our own 0.0% section with drinks built from fresh ingredients and real craftsmanship. Fresh and fizzy, fruity or creamy and sweet: just have a look at our menu or ask our team at the bar, we are happy to help you choose.
One little tip
Want to try a classic without the alcohol? Just ask for a "virgin" version, for example a Virgin Mojito or a Virgin Pina Colada. We are happy to adapt to your wishes, as long as the ingredients are in the bar.
