By Heidi Pruitt
Whether you are participating in Dry January, or are just in the mood for a delicious, alcohol-free drink, you don’t have to skip the flavor with these amazing mocktails right here in our community! Check them out below!
The Coterie
Skipping alcohol doesn’t mean you have to skip the fun at The Coterie! This nameless mocktail that I’m taking the liberty in naming “The Gibson” created by owner Kyle Gibson himself includes flavors of lime, orgeat syrup, passion fruit brown sugar, non-alcoholic ginger beer, and cranberry. Take a sip and you’ll be surprised that this guilt-free mocktail contains zero alcohol!
Pro tip: All the bartenders at The Coterie have their own favorite mocktail recipes. Don’t be afraid to ask and try something new!
Black Wax Cafe
Black Wax Cafe has a new menu item that will not disappoint coffee lovers. This sampling gives you the opportunity to try locally roasted cold brew flavors such as English Toffee, Chocolate Covered Cherry, White Chocolate/Blueberry, and Salted Caramel Cold Brew. Next time you’re craving an espresso martini, text a friend and head over to Black Wax Cafe!
Sweet Peas Play Cafe
This family-friendly spot in Kokomo is known for their awesome coffee, but one of their best-kept secrets is their “Teamonades.” This iced tea and lemonade concoction will have you dreaming of a summer day at the lake without the hangover. Enjoy this tea by itself or add raspberry or lavender syrup for the extra hint of flavor you didn’t know you needed!
Main Street Cafe
As some of you may know, Main Street Cafe was recently purchased by the owners of Whyte Horse Winery in Monticello! Enjoy your classic Main Street favorites, or try one of over 50 mocktails coming to Kokomo! Explore flavor combinations such as cotton candy, unicorn magic, orange creamsicle and strawberry banana! Enjoy the delightful drinks there, or take them to go to freeze and enjoy later! The possibilities are endless.
FreshBlendz
If you’re looking for a guilt free drink to enjoy, look no further than FreshBlendz! This jungle juice is available as a drink or frozen as a slushy. The flavors of blueberry, lemon, pineapple, and orage will transport you to a beach with all the fruity drinks you could ever imagine.
Lexi’s Drink Barn
One of Kokomo’s favorite drink stops, Lexi’s Drink Barn, has your sweet tooth covered with any flavor concoction you could imagine! If you find yourself craving a soda with your favorite liquor, you might be surprised when you try one of their curated alcohol-free menu items! Choose from options including the Pineapple Paradise, which features marshmallow fluff and pineapple syrup in Sprite; or The Pink Dream, Sprite with peach and strawberry flavors, and marshmallow fluff for added texture and flavor.
