HULA’S Modern Tiki offers mocktails that complement the restaurant’s theme. “It’s important that all guests, those who drink alcohol and those who don’t, get the same awesome, escapist experience,” said owner Dana Mule. “A good mocktail has to reflect who you are and be a legitimate part of your cocktail program.

The true key to a successful mocktail is that it creates the illusion of a great cocktail.” To learn more, visit jgsteakhousescottsdale.com , littleritualsbar.com , royalpalmshotel.com , trucolorconcepts.com , bitterandtwistedaz.com and hulasmoderntiki.com .
