As much as I enjoy a good cocktail, I firmly believe mocktails have their place in this world.

For the uninitiated: mocktails don’t contain any alcohol but are still served in a traditional cocktail glass.

I remember as a kid making mocktails at sleepovers so my friend and I felt cool like the adults. In reality we were just drinking orange juice and grenadine in a fancy glass, but MAN did we feel like we were at a party thrown by Jay Gatsby.

As it turns out, mocktails are as popular as ever, a study was recently put out by Zinna Health to figure out which were the most popular in each state.

After surveying 3,000 respondents, they were able to narrow down which beverage is the Garden State’s favorite, but first a look at what our neighboring states enjoy.
