living the clean life
Mock Daddy… just living the clean life! Every life has a story. Some are dank and savage. Some are clean. Some are a mix and in-between. The struggle is real. But, hey, we are not here to judge, only to celebrate life, no matter what type of life you choose. Mock Daddy is all about living a clean life and feeling great, while still having a healthy (maybe at times a little bit complex) social life. /
The non-alcohol (NA) and low-alcohol (LA) brands and recipes are specifically made for those who just simply want to live healthier lifestyles, while still enjoying a social setting with friends and family. And… maybe an occasional triple dark chocolate ganache tart, with a cherry on top. We know that life is about embracing everything there is to enjoy about this big, beautiful world. We just prefer to do so without a hangover, and we celebrate those who feel the same. So, drink up and enjoy!

healthy socializing
Living a Clean Life, alcohol-free (AF) and full of taste, is not only good for headspace, it is now considered chic. Clean living is celebrated in Millennial and Gen-X social circles, and Baby Boomers are now catching on, embracing an alcohol-free life, trying to reverse the damage they have done to their bodies for the past forty years. And everyone is having more fun than ever!
The social scene has changed. This is not our parents’ or grandparents’ world, where celebrities and aristocrats were seen with a toddy and cig in hand at every event, and any get-together was adorned by a lavish bar filled with libations.
Not everyone always feels the need to socialize with an alcoholic drink. More professionals are realizing that a Friday after-work social hour, or meeting the squad to unwind from a week of high pressure or a classroom filled with 7th grade hormones, can be enjoyed without a hangover. We understand, so we have searched near and far to find the best No- and Low-alcoholic beverages for you to enjoy. From heart-healthy wines, to craft beers and refreshing fruit & herb-infused spirits, and rich mocha and pecan martinis, living an active social life does not mean you have to endure a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows. Today, living the “high-life” has a new meaning and it doesn’t necessarily include alcohol. Mock Daddy has searched the globe and found something delicious for every taste.
Peek at our extensive list of recipes to create and serve your favorite NA beverages at home, to serve your guests at baby showers, wedding celebrations, office get-togethers or any other special event!

how it’s done!
a wine recipe that’s literally spiced
winter mulled spiced wine
Mulled wine is another perfect drink for cold winter nights. This non-alcoholic mulled wine recipe is filled with spices and an aroma that will create a cozy but festive environment! It is just what you need to lift your spirits on a dreary, stormy or snowy evening.
the magic ingredient is the grape juice!
Blending different types of grape juices can mimic the flavor profile of a Cabernet. Deep-colored grape juices like Concord or Alicante Bouschet can provide the base, while adding juices like Merlot or Syrah can add complexity and tannins. Experimenting with proportions and spices like black pepper or oak chips can further enhance the Cabernet-like experience.
ingredients::
- Welch’s grape juice (or your favorite brand) — 6 ounces per person for one drink.
- Mulling spices — Fresh, dried orange and lemon peels, whole cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, cardamom, allspice, and star anise. (Or a pre-mixed package of mulling spices)
- Add a few Cinnamon sticks or fruit garnish of your choice! We love cherries!
