This event is on Tuesday, March 12 at 6:30 pm and will be held at the Frazier History Museum. The program features music, signature mocktails and cocktails, food from local chefs, and a live mocktail competition. it’s a social gathering where people can choose to either have a cocktail or a mocktail with no judgement.
“Everyone deserves the option to enjoy a crafted beverage, whether they choose to consume alcohol or not,” said Jesse Hawkins, founder of The Mocktail Project. “This event moves beyond a traditional fundraising model to engage the community in eliminating social barriers.”
Otis Junior & The Jesse Lee’s will perform live in the Kentucky Bourbon Trail® speakeasy. Chef Bobby Benjamin of Butchertown Grocery will prepare tapas style dishes in collaboration with other Louisville chefs.
The mocktail competition will feature contestants from 
Copper & Kings, Cooper’s Craft, and Rabbit Hole Distillery. The judges are Bourbon Women’s Cocktail Contessa, Heather Wibbels; lifestyle and food blogger, J.C Phelps; and local lifestyle blogger and Kentucky gent, Josh Johnson.
“Our industry believes alcohol should be a choice, not an expectation,” said KDA President Eric Gregory. “Making signature mocktails available alongside classic Bourbon cocktails is an essential step to creating world-class hospitality experiences in Kentucky.”
Funds raised during the evening will support local recovery efforts and provide access to high-quality non-alcoholic drink options in Kentucky’s most vibrant social settings.
