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
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.
