HOW MOCKLY, A LOCAL BOOZE-FREE BEVERAGE CO., DOES SOBER JANUARY

A zero-alcohol way to quench your thirst for a fresh start in the New Year

NEW ORLEANS – (Jan. 4, 2022) – It’s Sober January, and Mockly, New Orleans’ newest booze-free beverage, is back in stock at area stores and restaurants. Now locals who use the weeks between Christmas and Carnival to take a break from booze won’t have to miss out or mix their own mocktails.

Carefully crafted by leading New Orleans mixologist Jesse Carr, Mockly captures the excitement of a cocktail in a convenient can – just hold the booze. It’s all hangout, no hangover – perfect for the resting reveler who still craves the fun and flavor of a favorite cocktail.

Locally owned and operated, Mockly is a small startup poised to make a big, alcohol-free splash in 2022, and it’s not just about New Year’s Resolutions. Sometimes you just need to hit pause.

“Whether you overdid it during the holidays or want give your system a break before Mardi Gras, we designed Mockly to be the alcohol alternative you’ll come back to again and again,” explains co-founder Aimée Sedky. “It’s about how the flavors come together to give the sober and sober-curious a new option that feels like an indulgence, not a sacrifice.”

Mockly is on a mission to liberate spirited drinkers from the limitations of more lackluster beverages without booze. From the mint-spiked blueberry of Baron von Blue to the peachy citrus effervescence of Eye Opener and the fruity rosemary-finished pomegranate of Love Bite — Mockly’s booze-free, low-carb beverages are delicious on their own, but they’re also excellent mixers when you’re ready to put alcohol back on the menu.
