QUICK QUOTES:
"I think what makes something a mocktail is that it has layers of flavour that you're experiencing, and that is honestly very challenging to do. It's more challenging to do in non-alcoholic cocktails than it is in full proof."
"I'm looking to have something that slows down the drinking experience. So that you're sipping it instead of just chugging it back like juice."
Join me today as I dive into the world of exceptional alcohol-free cocktails with certified nutrition consultant and mixology expert, Lila Volkas.
We'll explore Lila's innovative five-element framework for non-alcoholic mixology, uncovering the challenges and rewards of crafting complexity without alcohol.
Discover how everyday kitchen ingredients like apple cider vinegar and citrus peels can magically transform your drinks into works of art.
From humble kombucha brewing beginnings to leading corporate wellness workshops, Lila beautifully blends nutrition with mixology.
Whether you're enhancing your weeknight ritual or impressing guests at a weekend gathering, this conversation provides practical insights to create sophisticated alcohol-free drinks that encourage you to slow down and savour every sip.
