Mocktails

There is a new trend gaining popularity in the food and beverage industry. The mocktail, or non-alcoholic beverage, is emerging as a great alternative for guests who want a flavorful and crafty experience without the alcohol. With this goal in mind, the bar team has created a refreshing, farmstead, and seasonal style batch of mocktails for our guests to enjoy. Each day at the Main House, a new drink is available to try. Enjoy these beverages during lunch, sitting on the veranda, or grab one to go on the way to the next activity. Recipes and refills are available upon request. Cheers!
