You won’t catch me complaining next time I decide to treat myself to an alcohol-free cocktail!

Recently, while scrolling Twitter, I came across this tweet calling out the pricing of mocktails.

Also why are mocktails the same price as cocktails????

Lets talk about this!!!

Many were really interested in understanding the pricing structure.

The topic was hotly debated, which piqued my interest.

So we call them alcohol-free cocktails, which is more accurate."

Ehmann explained that non-alcoholic spirits “are generally as expensive as middle-to-top-shelf alcohol.

Their cocktails range in price from $17 to $19, and their alcohol-free cocktails are $17.

This is a section of the menu ofArbella, a cocktail bar in Chicago.

Cocktail Menu: House Cocktails $19 - Mala Vida, Draft Cocktails $17 - Lady Paloma, Non-Alcoholic $17 - Summer Nights. Each includes a list of ingredients

Cocktails here range in price from $17 to $30, while alcohol-free cocktails are all $15.

And this pricing is from the menu ofThe Rendition Room, a cocktail bar in Los Angeles.

It is a whole new concoction.

But I believe it’s popular because it looks great on Instagram.
