BY SHOSHANA LEON CHEERS TO MOCKTAILS A top New Year’s resolution is to lead a healthier lifestyle. For some people, that may include drinking less alcohol or cutting it out altogether. Even if you are alcohol- free, you can enjoy tasty and thoughtful mocktails at various Valley establishments. “There are a number of reasons why someone might choose not to drink alcohol, but that doesn’t mean they should be excluded from enjoying handcrafted beverages when they go out,” said Abby Kate Larson, head bartender at J&G Steakhouse at The Phoenician in Scottsdale. “A great mocktail needs everything a regular cocktail needs — balance between acid and sweetness, creative use of fresh seasonal flavors and a beautiful presentation.” J&G’s mocktails include the Spicy Mango Sipper with muddled Fresno peppers, mango purée, lemon, simple syrup and seltzer water. Made with J&G’s spicy house-made ginger syrup, Fresh Ginger Ale is a perfect pairing with dishes like crab cakes and tuna tartare. “More people are turning to nonalcoholic cocktails not only as a lifestyle, but as a way of pacing their evenings,” said Aaron DeFeo, bar director and proprietor at Little Rituals in downtown Phoenix, which offers nonalcoholic versions of some cocktails, featuring Lyre’s nonalcoholic spirits. “A great mocktail menu allows bars to cater to a wider group of guests, especially those who do not wish to consume alcohol but still appreciate the social element of enjoying a delicious drink in a fun setting,” said Romeo Rangel, mixologist at Mix Up at the Royal Palms Resort and Spa in Phoenix.
