Once upon a time, mocktails had a pretty ho-hum reputation. Soda and Lime? A Shirley Temple? Not exactly 007-worthy!

These days however mocktails, or non-alcoholic cocktails as they are called by enthusiasts, offer balanced and complex flavours that can stand up to any of its alcoholic counterparts.

With the festive season and all its indulgences behind us, January is the perfect time to start fresh with some non-alcoholic treats. And what better place to try these refreshing libations than at the scenic Latitude bar at Coco Bodu Hithi?

And if you’re not able to visit us in person this January, enjoy a taste of the Maldives with our mixologists’ all-time favourite non-alcoholic beverages to start off your 2023!
