The Mocktail Mixer

You definitely won’t want to miss Pittsburgh’s first zero-proof tasting event and fundraiser! Due to overwhelming enthusiasm, we’ve outgrown our original venue and are excited to announce the event will now be held at Velum Fermentation on July 28th!

Join us for an unforgettable evening as we crown the winner of the Best Mocktail in the Burgh! This friendly competition will feature some of Pittsburgh’s most creative bars, restaurants, and beverage specialists, each showcasing their best zero-proof creations in a high-energy tasting experience.

This event is a fundraiser benefiting Teetotal Initiative, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting recovery, wellness, and sober community experiences across Southwestern Pennsylvania. All proceeds will directly support our mission and continued expansion throughout the region.

We’re proud to be cohosting the event with Katrina Tomacchio, Pittsburgh’s Mocktail Queen, and thrilled to welcome the Cold Friends food truck, which employs individuals in various stages of recovery—beautifully aligning with Teetotal Initiative’s commitment to community and second chances.

And don’t forget to try your luck—we’ll have raffle baskets packed with incredible prizes donated by generous local businesses and partners.

Come raise a (zero-proof) glass with us and support a powerful cause!
