Course Structure

This engaging and interactive session is designed to inspire creativity, deepen knowledge, and spark conversation around health-conscious drink alternatives:

We’ll begin by sharing the story behind Memorable Mocktails and inviting participants to introduce themselves, share their motivation for attending, and what they hope to gain from the experience.

As a group, we'll explore the growing movement toward sobriety and the rise of the ‘sober curious,’ discussing the social and health trends driving this shift.

Participants will then learn how to make three distinct alcohol-free drinks. You'll be encouraged to get creative and put your own personal twist on each mocktail to suit your individual tastes.

Alongside the drink-making, we’ll dive deeper into the health themes and science behind each recipe, from antioxidants to gut health to local foraging.

A hands-on exploration of ten edible weeds and flowers will follow, complete with tasting opportunities. For those feeling competitive, there will be a fun plant identification quiz with a prize for the top scorer.

Throughout the session, there will be plenty of time for questions, discussion, and shared discovery.

Course Learning Outcomes

• Make three alcohol-free drinks at home
• Identify at least five edible weeds and flowers from their backyard or local area
• Understand the role of edible weeds and flowers in supporting food security in Australia

• Gain an introductory understanding of gut health and its links to dementia and mental health
