Today we’d like to introduce you to Aline Neves. They and their team shared their story with us below:
Aline Neves has been a bartender for 20 years; she was voted the best in the State of São Paulo and has given cocktail classes to bartenders now recognized worldwide! With her vast experience and knowledge in F&B and mixology, Aline offers advice to bars and restaurants through her training to improve the quality of customer service, optimize the workplace, prevent waste, and leverage sales potential with techniques and teaching. Exclusive. Aline Neves also has extensive experience on cruise ships, where, in addition to being a bartender, she has also been a singer and entertainer. She has lived in the United States for 8 years and is the mother of Nathan, who is 6 years old. Nathan is support level 2 autistic, and the challenges became increasingly more significant as Aline is divorced and has no family in the United States. For the last 4 years, she has worked at Newark-NJ International Airport as Head Bartender responsible for 5 different bars and Orlando-FL International Airport. Today, she dedicates 100% of her time to her Mök Bar project, where she offers her unique features for events in general by serving completely alcohol-free cocktails!
“Mocktail” is the term most used lately to define non-alcoholic cocktails. This is how Mök Bar was born: to make everyone aware that we can enjoy completely different, colorful, tasty, and surprising cocktails without alcohol! Alcoholism has always been one of the biggest family dilemmas, and our children and teenagers are constantly exposed to it overwhelmingly. But Aline Neves believes that we can make the next generation a healthier generation mentally and physically, starting with us, the parents, being good examples for our children! Perfect for weddings, birthdays in general, corporate and religious events, or any other type of event where alcohol is not “that special guest,” but the fun is the party, as Aline performs magic tricks and juggling shows as a differentiator in its super exceptional service, bringing entertainment and relaxation to events! The “mocktails” are created by Aline with top-quality products, and she replaces alcoholic drinks with French syrups and even vodka, gin, rum, or non-alcoholic whiskey. It exists! And Aline came with Mök Bar, which is here to prove it: 100% alcohol-free and 100% full of happiness!
Can you talk to us about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned? Looking back, would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
I was swimming against the ocean as a pioneer in this business in the US. It’s not easy to input something new in the market while people refer to my professional bartender with alcohol all the time!
I appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Mök Bar Mocktails?
Mök Bar Mocktails is a mobile bartending service aiming to prove that we can have fun and enjoy unique cocktails without alcohol! We can do better for our new generation, showing them good values and also how to keep their minds and bodies healthy!
What quality or characteristic do you feel is most important to your success?
The customer service I offer and the caring in detail are the most important things to me.
