How to Host a Sober-Optional Brunch (That Doesn’t Feel Dry)

The vibe: sunny, social, and everyone’s sipping something sparkly—without the pressure to drink.

Here’s how to host a brunch that caters to every guest, including the sober, sober-curious, and 'I-just-don’t-feel-like-it-today' crew.

Set the Table: Flowers, cloth napkins, and mismatched plates make it feel cozy, not formal.

Build a Beverage Bar: Offer botanical NA spirits, cold brew, and fresh-squeezed juices. Label them clearly.

Serve Up Savory & Sweet: Perfectly light salads, smoked veggies, fresh soudough, fresh fruit & yoghurt, and pastries from your fave local baker.

Play a Little: Put out a card deck, a ‘make your own mocktail’ menu, or even just a brunchy playlist.

Send ‘Em Home with Something: Mini flower bouquets, incense, or sample-size NA drinks make the moment linger.

You don’t need alcohol to host beautifully—you just need Botanika.
