Birmingham, AL Mocktail Mingle

Tired of the superficiality of digital socializing and dating apps? It's time to switch off your device and reconnect with the genuine tradition of in-person interaction.

Join us for the Mocktail Mingle, a sophisticated and vibrant Speed Networking event. We provide an engaging, structured format designed for meaningful introductions and authentic rapport. Whether you're participating in Dry January, maintaining sobriety, or simply seeking a refined and enjoyable Sunday activity, this is your premier destination. Expect intentional connection, substantive conversation, and exceptional, non-alcoholic mixology.

Elevated Mocktail Experience

Prepare to have your expectations of non-alcoholic drinks redefined. The expert mixologists at Cahaba Brewing Company have crafted a comprehensive, bespoke menu of sophisticated mocktails exclusively for this event.

Forget standard sugary sodas and simple juices. Our menu features:

• Complex Flavor Profiles: Layered, balanced compositions using house-made syrups and reductions.
• Fresh Botanicals: Infusions with rosemary, lavender, star anise, and other distinctive elements.
• Hand-Crafted Garnishes: Elevated presentation matching a world-class cocktail establishment.

This menu proves that intriguing, luxurious beverage enjoyment is completely achievable without alcohol.

The Venue & Icebreaker

We are exclusively transforming the distinguished Cahaba Brewing Company into a premier social environment. This is a meticulously curated experience focused on cultivating real connections, not a conventional networking function.

To immediately bypass any discomfort or awkward silences, we will feature the acclaimed 52+2: Conversation Starter Card Game. This powerful icebreaker provides expert prompts, instantly elevating the conversation beyond superficial small talk to more stimulating and substantial subjects.
