Mocktail anyone?

Mocktails have become synonymous with SADD in NZ - it's definitely on the lighter side of what we do and something positive and fun students can get involved with.  

It originally stemmed from a campaign (decades ago) around Host Responsibility - which included tips like making sure that there was always non-alcoholic drink options provided at parties and functions ... along with other key ingredients for a safe night, such as hot food supplied; alternative and safe transport on offer for any people who had been drinking and sober parents to supervise the event etc.

Mocktails lived on and continued to appeal to each new batch of SADD students (we're talking over 20 odd years) and so for decades now our school groups and members have been running 'Mocktail Competitions' in school; providing Mocktail refreshment stands at community events, or (still) sharing recipes as part of party planning packs.  So we thought it might be fun to share some of the recipes that our members send in to us!

 

Make it more enjoyable for sober drivers at your parties or functions by having some yummy non-alcoholic drinks on offer!  Try one of our Summer favourites  ...
