Tori, aka mocktail girlie makes getting started with n/a beverages easy as ever on her social media channels. Offline she's on a path of discovering herself, viewing the positives in life through the lens of a person that is alcohol free. We both live in Columbus, Oh, a city we're proud to see thrive with more and more n/a options becoming available, and great places to start thanks to people like her.

Tori, aka Mocktail Girlie, wanted to find a way to enjoy drinks without adding alcohol. This led to her creating mocktails for her and her husband at home using simple and healthy ingredients. What started as a fun way to share her drink recipes on Instagram and TikTok, quickly turned into a community of like-minded people that also share in her desire to enjoy delicious non-alcoholic beverages. Through her platforms, Tori now shares her easy-to-make mocktails with her hundreds of thousands of followers.
