Thriving Alcohol-Free with Mocktail Mom

EP 98 From Bartender to Mocktail Innovator: Elaine’s Booze-Free Glow-Up


Listen Later

Get ready to fall in love with Elaine Empalmado, the powerhouse behind Mocktail Hour and one of the freshest voices in the alcohol-free world! After seven years of slinging drinks in Toronto’s nightlife scene, Elaine got sober in January 2024 (cheers to almost a year!) and realized something big: mocktails needed a serious glow-up.

Now, she’s on a mission to make sobriety not just a choice but a full-on celebration. Elaine dishes on everything—from her wild bartending days (firepoles and all!) to how she’s now inspiring the restaurant world to up their mocktail game. Oh, and she’s spilling her fave booze-free picks, like NA gin, Heineken 0.0, and Kin Euphorics.

This convo is just a sneak peek of the longer conversation Elaine and I had for the upcoming Mocktail Summit, happening January 2025! Elaine’s summit session is packed with even more juicy stories, tips, and inspiration—you won’t want to miss it!
