2024 Best of Lake Erie: Mocktails

Finding the best mocktail at a popular, local distillery might seem surprising. Yet Bellwether at Toledo Spirits in Ohio does both exceptionally well. These mocktails are created using flavor profiles and seasonal themes that receive the same attention as their regular cocktail menu. In summer, tiki cocktails like Strawberry 24 infuse a daiquiri with fresh citrus juices and strawberry puree. Drinks are crafted with locally sourced botanicals, fruits and ingredients whenever possible.
