But what if you don't partake in any of the libations that have been featured here and around the area?  Well, now we know what the best mocktails are around the country and here in Minnesota.

This is from Zinnia Health, and here is how they came up with what mocktails are the best:

Methodology: Online panel survey of 3,000 adults based on age, gender, and geography. Internal data sources are used to obtain population data sets. We used a two-step process to ensure representativeness through stratified sampling and post-stratification weighting. February 2024.

Yes, I do agree that 3,000 people isn't quite enough to really decide what the best anything is... but it is certainly enough to at least give you an idea.

In Minnesota, the best mocktail is called a Viking Frost.

White grape juice mixed with a splash of blue curaçao syrup and lemon-lime soda; garnished with grapes and a twist of lemon, embodying the boldness of a Minnesota winter.

Non alcoholic drinks have become more and more popular recently.  And instead of being the person always drinking water or soda, these mocktails add a bit more to your enjoyment.

-Help with inclusivity in social settings

-Awareness of healthy alternatives (alcohol usually has lots of sugar and calories and slows your metabolism)

-Celebration of non-alcoholic choices along with bringing a local identity to the drinks

-New opportunities for economic development and sober bars as options.
