Why are mocktails so expensive?
Briefly

At Binge Bar in Washington, DC, 'spirit-free' cocktails cost between $11 and $14. A glass of NA wine is $15, while a can of NA beer is $5.
Mocktails are often made with high-quality ingredients such as botanicals, herbs, and spices, and can take longer to make. That way, customers still feel like they're getting the cocktail experience.
Alcohol does not alone drive the cost of mocktails; with complex preparation and higher quality ingredients, NA options are priced similarly to their alcoholic counterparts.
Gigi Arandid, owner of Binge Bar, said NA cocktails are just as complex as those with alcohol. She educates customers about special ingredients in drinks.
