My problem with most mocktails is that they are just too sweet. I don't like sweet drinks. I save all my sugar for desserts!
I have the same issue but I'm finding that things are going in the right direction. As many Gen Z'ers are looking to reduce alcohol consumption (typically replaced with cannabis), there's been a big renaissance with non-alcoholic "spirits". I've had both a non-alcoholic whiskey and gin that were quite nice and in my neighborhood there's at least one fully non-alcoholic cocktail bar which I havent tried yet but am curious about. Who knows, maybe sometime soon, even "normal" restaurants will start to feature well made, interesting non-alcoholic cocktails that aren't fruit based.
