Home of the Lavender Lemon Spritz, this downtown brewpub dedicates a full page of its menu to alcohol-free cocktails. Expect fresh-pressed juices, house-made syrups, and a buzzing trivia night that hands out mocktail vouchers as prizes.

Café Le Reine Mocktail Nights

Once a month, Nashua’s favorite brunch spot dims the lights, cues the jazz trio, and serves an elegant NA tasting flight—think rosemary–grapefruit fizz, espresso “martinis,” and sparkling hibiscus coolers.

Mindful Kitchen Pop-Ups

These plant-forward pop-ups rotate through local kitchens, pairing four-course vegan dinners with regional kombucha flights. Follow their Instagram for the next date (tickets sell out fast).
