Mockery's story began, like many good things, with a daydream. During quarantine, Karlyta yearned for the normalcy of gatherings and shared drinks, but the usual Zoom wine downs simply left her feeling out of sync. Instead, she started crafting her own "little sips," a return to the childhood joy of mixing mocktails at Chuck E. Cheese. Soon, fresh-pressed juices, homemade syrups, and a dash of experimentation gave birth to Mockery.
