Literary mocktails

What do you get when you cross literary favourites with delicious thirst-quenching concoctions?

Literary mocktails are book-themed, alcohol-free drinks, inspired by well-known literary works. The names were suggested and voted upon by library fans. 

Mocktails are a great alternative to alcoholic drinks for designated drivers, pregnant women, people wanting to reduce their alcohol intake, young people or anyone who wants to avoid alcohol.

Our literary mocktail recipes feature a range of different flavours to suit a wide audience.

From alcohol-free versions of classic cocktails to our own signature virgin mojito there is sure to be a drink to suit everyone.
