You don’t have to have any kick in your cocktail to enjoy a night out. Keep reading to see where you can find cocktails + mocktails in Swan City.

Federal Bar Lakeland, 124 S. Tennessee Ave. 

Pop into Federal Bar and order a round of mocktails. The team at this local spot is happy to turn any of the listed cocktails into $5 mocktail versions. 

Frescos Southern Kitchen & Bar, 132 S. Kentucky Ave.

Known for being a full-service restaurant and craft bar, this downtown staple also offers an entire selection of zero-proof “temperance cocktails.” If you’re looking for a recommendation, try the cucumber elderflower cooler, made with elderflower syrup, rosemary syrup, cucumber, lime, and sparkling water. 

Krazy Kombucha, 1030 Florida Ave. S.

If you want a beverage with flavor and probiotics, check out what’s on tap at Krazy Kombucha. The taproom is serving probiotic teas from 11-6 p.m. on Wednesdays and Saturdays, plus at the Farmers Market. Pro tip: Mix this kombucha with other beverages and fruits to concoct a refreshing mocktail — our favorite is the strawberry. 

Publix GreenWise, 4747 Florida Ave. S. Ste. 110

The POURS section at GreenWise offers up bubbly kombucha on tap that you can sip at their bar in the supermarket, or take on the go while you wander the store. This kombucha’s fizz will most closely resemble a sparkling cider or seltzer. Pro tip: Reader Jennifer D. recommends mocktail mimosas with orange juice and kombucha.

Red Door Lakeland, 733 E. Palmetto St.

This homey spot on Lake Morton offers craft cocktails and mocktails. Try the sparkling hibiscus ginger lemonade or the Aurora Borealis, featuring butterfly pea tea, lemon juice, and kiwi shrub. 

Revival, 119 S. Kentucky Ave. 

This dedicated bar downtown is able to whip up any cocktail into a mocktail. Fun fact: A few months back, we ordered a non-alcoholic riff on an Aperol Spritz. This biz also keeps a variety of kombucha on tap.

Quinteassence Kava Bar, 839 N. Massachusetts Ave. 

If you’re looking for an alternative to your regular wine-down Wednesday or cocktail, head to Quinteassence Kava Bar. Kava is a non-alcoholic beverage, but it (like alcohol) is a nervous system depressant. That means you can expect a similar sensation, sans alcohol. Try a kava cocktail next time you’re looking for a refreshing drink — we recommend the blue lotus kava lemonade.
