St. Louis Break Room Mocktail Recipes

by

Tired of the same cold beverages in your St. Louis break room? Well, it’s time to break out of the norm with these creative mocktail recipes. Using a little ingenuity and (mostly) what’s in a vending machine or micro-market, you can have an alcohol-free happy hour any time of day.

Malibu Mocktail

Get the coconut and pineapple zing of this cocktail while keeping it work-appropriate. Pick up pineapple seltzer and sweetened coconut water, like bai. Mix over ice and enjoy.

Mock Mule

Ginger ale is the perfect at-work ingredient to make your Moscow Mule mocktail. Bring lime wedges and slices of fresh ginger from home. Muddle those in the bottom of your favorite office mug. Add ice, then top with ice-cold ginger ale from your St. Louis vending machine. Yum.

Sangria Sans Alcohol

St. Louis Micro-Market Drinks | Single-Cup Coffee | Break Room Service

With a few ingredients, you can get the refreshing quench of this cocktail without any ill effects from alcohol. Start with diced fruit, either from home or from a mini fruit cocktail cup in the micro-market. Add cranberry juice and a splash or two of orange juice for the sweet zing. Finish the drink with seltzer water to get plenty of sparkle. It’s a healthy hit of essential vitamins and minerals too.

Mocktail Coffee Cocktails

Get a caffeine kick with one of these two great coffee-based mocktails: The NA White Russian or NA Coffee Martini.

For the White Russian, add some Kahlua-flavored syrup from your St. Louis office coffee bar to a cup of ice. Brew, then add a cooled shot of espresso and cream. Enjoy.

No Kahlua flavoring? Try ice, cooled coffee, and some vanilla seltzer or soda. It’s a twist on the coffee martini and a great workday pick-me-up.

Mocktails are Break Room Fun

Getting creative at work can be a good time. That boosts morale which in turn ups St. Louis employee retention. So break out the imagination. Use ingredients in the break room to make mocktail versions of your favorite cocktails and have a happy hour without the alcohol.

Sparkling Water

Fun, and healthy, sparkling water is a popular drink. Offer a variety of summery flavors such as citrus and berry. Sparkling water hits the spot during a picnic or barbecue.

Sparkling water is also a great break room staple. This is especially true during the hot summer months. Keep your team hydrated and cool by adding fizzy water to your St. Louis break room. Employees will love drinking their favorite flavored water throughout the day.

Free Vend Cold Beverage Machine

Incentivize your employees with free cold beverages. During your event, put your St. Louis vending machine on free vend. In other words, your team can pick any drink they’d like! We’ll tally what your team drinks and send an invoice afterward.

St. Louis Micro Market Ideas | Bottled Water | Morale Boosters

Simpler than a plastic cooler, you get cold drinks on demand. Forget ordering a case of drinks or managing ice. A vending machine gives you greater variety. Everyone can have their favorite drink!

Free Micro Market Day

Celebrate a great summer by making everything free in your St. Louis micro market for one day. Employees scan items so we can track what they choose. Then, we give you a list and invoice so you can cover the cost.

This summer micro market treat is an excellent reward for your hardworking staff. Employees can grab special snacks like candy bars or trail mix. Or, they can enjoy a free lunch. Plus, they can quench their thirst with a cold drink.

Special Bulk Treats 

Are you planning a meeting, party, or picnic? Order bulk snacks or drinks you don’t normally offer. Treat your team to fruity candy or popcorn to keep with the summer vibe.

We can also supply chips and soft drinks for your barbecue. Let us know what you need so that we can help plan a successful summer event.

Also, consider elevating company meetings with visitors and out-of-towners. Serve bottled water and snacks. Also, offer extra coffee and tea options as a part of your St. Louis office coffee service. Iced coffee and specialty coffees are popular choices.
