Alcohol-free corporate cocktail reception: drinks, mocktails and quantities
What to serve at an alcohol-free corporate cocktail reception? A 0% sparkling wine for the toast, juices and nectars, a mocktail bar. Drinks, quantities and budget for 20 to 100 people.
For an alcohol-free corporate cocktail reception, plan one flute of 0% sparkling per person for the toast, then 1 litre of juice for 4 people and 1 bottle of water for 5, the quantities our clients order, that is about €6.50 excl. VAT of drinks per guest. An alcohol-free bar suits every guest and settles the question of alcohol at a work event.

Calculated for a two-hour reception: one bottle of 0% Chardonnay serves about 6 flutes; for juice and water, these are the average quantities from our cocktail reception orders. Budget calculated with juices at €9.50 excl. VAT per litre and Evian 75 cl at €4.80 excl. VAT. Plan more if the reception lasts longer than two hours.
What can replace champagne?
An alcohol-free sparkling drink served in a flute, well chilled. Our 0% Chardonnay Blanc de Blancs is a Chardonnay grape juice made in the Blanc de Blancs style: the gesture of the toast stays the same, and everyone raises the same glass. That detail is what stops guests being split into two groups.
The mocktail bar: the station that makes the evening
A bartender makes alcohol-free cocktails in front of your guests, to order: citrus, fresh fruit, herbs and homemade syrups. It is the equivalent of a cocktail bar, without alcohol, and often the moment people remember. See our mocktail bar and live food stations.
Three mistakes to avoid
- A single juice flavour: plan at least three, including one that is not very sweet.
- Lukewarm drinks: plan ice or a chilled space from the moment of delivery.
- A separate "alcohol-free" corner: when the whole bar is alcohol-free, nobody has to single themselves out.
