Beyond Soda: Round Rock’s Sophisticated Mocktail Scene

 

Staying healthy doesn't mean staying home.

Whether it's for health, energy, or just a post-holiday reset, many Round Rockers are skipping the alcohol this month.

 

Thankfully, our local food scene has caught up.

 

Places like The Ruby Hotel & Bar and Hoot & Annie  are now crafting non-alcoholic drinks with fresh herbs and house-made shrubs that feel like a treat, not a sacrifice.

 

It’s a great way to support local businesses while keeping your 2026 health goals on track.

 

Local Tip: Ask for the "Bartender’s Whim" mocktail—most local mixologists love the challenge of making something unique without the booze.

 

Additionally, Spirit of Texas Brewstillery in nearby Pflugerville offers a menu of 12 mocktails at its taproom, including the Pineapple Sherbert and Mango Twist Mojito.

 

Embracing this trend not only supports local businesses but also aligns with Round Rock's commitment to health and wellness.

 

With the city's recent recognition as the 10th most affordable and fastest-growing city in the U.S., it's clear that Round Rock is a community that values both growth and well-being.

 

So, whether you're participating in Dry January or simply exploring new beverage options, Round Rock's mocktail scene offers a refreshing and health-conscious way to enjoy the local flavor.
