While one doesn't need a reason to avoid alcohol, the sober curiosity is gaining traction. Whatever their reason, more and more patrons are interested in socializing sober, and instead of simple sodas or non-alcoholic beers and wines, mindful establishments are accommodating with creativity. For sober solutions without sacrificing the craft cocktail experience, visit one of these Bentonville cocktail bars for a top notch mocktail.
CONIFER
Rif Raf: This mocktail has all the flavors your palate desires when transitioning into the fall season. At first sip, you'll notice the bitter sweetness of grapefruit before the flavor shifts with a subtle spice thanks to the pink peppercorn.
HARDWATER
Sunset Spritz: Bright and refreshing, this is the perfect mocktail to entertain. Not too sweet, and not too complex, Hardwater's Sunset Spritz is bold enough to keep you interested and smooth enough to sip all evening.
BAR KAPU
Hibiscus: According to the waitstaff, Bar Kapu will always offer exciting, non-alcoholic options for patrons because, "We never want alcohol to get in the way of our guests enjoying their experience." This mocktail is floral and spicy; perfect for fall sipping from Bar Kapu's indoor-outdoor space. Our publisher and his wife described this drink perfectly: It tastes like if Thanksgiving were in spring.
TOWER BAR
Spikey & Spicey: The Tower Bar might possess Bentonville's most robust mocktail menu - both in options and complexity - including this multidimensional sipper featuring citrus fruits, cucumber, and Thai chili extract.
LADY SLIPPER
Designated Driver: Sweet, spicy, or sour? Lady Slipper caters to your palate preferences with this simplified, but nonetheless satisfying, non-alcoholic cocktail. If you're feeling adventurous, ask your bartender to craft something spontaneous using your favorite flavors for inspiration.
