Looking to serve something unique, refreshing, and alcohol-free at your next gathering? Say hello to the Booch Mocktail Bar—a fun, fizzy, and flavorful way to impress your guests while keeping things light. With La Rive Kombucha as your base, you can create vibrant mocktails that are just as celebratory as any cocktail (and way better for your gut).

Here’s how to set up a kombucha mocktail station that steals the show:

Step 1: Choose Your Kombucha Flavors

Start with a variety of La Rive’s most crowd-pleasing seasonal and classic brews. Aim for a range of flavor profiles—think:

Fruity: Hibiscus Berry, Blood Orange Ginger
Herbal: Lemon Thyme, Lavender Honey
Spicy or Earthy: Ginger Mint, Fig & Fennel
Crisp & Refreshing: Cucumber Lime, Orange Blossom

Offer 3–5 options to keep it interesting without overwhelming.

Step 2: Prep Mixers and Garnishes

Think of your mocktail bar like a smoothie station meets speakeasy. Set out:

Fresh Fruits: Sliced citrus, muddled berries, pineapple chunks
Herbs: Mint, rosemary, basil, thyme
Juices & Mixers: Coconut water, fresh lime juice, honey syrup, floral waters
Fun Add-Ons: Flavored ice cubes, edible flowers, rim sugar or salt

Pro tip: Create a few “house specials” with recipes on display for guests to follow—or freestyle their own!

Step 3: Pick the Right Glassware

Use a mix of mason jars, coupes, and highball glasses to elevate the look. Don’t forget reusable straws, swizzle sticks, and cute name tags for the drinks.

Step 4: Set the Mood

Decorate your mocktail bar with a touch of whimsy. Think string lights, citrus garlands, chalkboard signage, or a vintage drink cart. A curated playlist helps create a relaxed, joyful vibe.

Step 5: Make It Interactive

Encourage guests to mix, taste, and share their creations. Have a “Mocktail of the Night” contest with a prize or offer a mini kombucha tasting flight before they mix.

Bonus Tip: Batch It Ahead

If you’re short on space or time, prepare a couple of signature mocktails in pitchers using kombucha, juices, and herbs. Just top off with ice and fresh garnish before serving.

Why a Booch Bar Works: It’s inclusive, eye-catching, and wellness-forward—perfect for baby showers, brunches, birthday parties, and even weddings. Plus, with all the gut-friendly benefits of La Rive Kombucha, you’ll feel great while sipping something festive.
