9 Places to Enjoy Mocktails in Dunwoody
No alcohol? No problem. For many young Americans, it’s becoming increasingly common to be “sober-curious,” or try a low-alcohol lifestyle. In fact, the percentage of U.S. adults who say they consume alcohol has fallen to a record low at just 54%. Luckily, Dunwoody offers relaxation and socialization for everyone with great mocktail spots all over the city. If you’re cutting back on alcohol this year, keep reading to find the best mocktail spots.
Why Mocktails Are Having a Moment
Trends are showing that younger generations are in their mocktail era. Many Gen Z and Millennial populations now view alcohol as a rare “treat” rather than a part of everyday life.
Many researchers believe this is an aftereffect of the COVID-19 epidemic. With younger generations coming of age during the pandemic, there weren’t as many opportunities to socially experiment with alcohol like the generations before. Instead, many got creative while at home, often turning to non-alcoholic versions of classic cocktails.
Plus, many young Americans want to avoid the “hangxiety” that comes with drinking, treat themselves to a fun drink without the consequences, and share a special moment with their friends—and restaurants are taking note.
There are more non-alcoholic options on a menu than ever before, and a wide variety of mocktails in Dunwoody that make any moment worth remembering (and capturing on social media).
