CEDAR RAPIDS — Sober CR, a community of adult nondrinkers, invites the public to learn how to make alcohol-free mocktail drinks for any occasion — including healthier lifestyle resolutions as a new year approaches.

Old Neighborhood Pub will host the informal event from 6 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 13. There, pub owner Draya VanHoeck will go over the essentials of a mocktail, from the glass, mixology and aroma to bouquet, presentation and culture of cocktails.

Online RSVPs are encouraged via Sober CR’s Facebook group.

Sober CR is a social support group for those who abstain from drinking and those curious about sobriety, offering biweekly gatherings for dinners and other events without the pressure of alcohol. All attendees are welcome, regardless of their status with alcohol.
