For our Sloom Year End Function, which was held in the cozy and inviting setting of our own beds, Zweli extended an invitation to a special guest. This guest is none other than the co-founder of Thirst, a renowned company known for its innovative and refreshing beverage creations. The purpose of this unique gathering is to discover the perfect mocktail that will not only delight our taste buds but also aid in relaxation, making it an ideal drink for unwinding after a busy year. Mocktails, which are non-alcoholic cocktails, have been gaining popularity due to their ability to offer a sophisticated drinking experience without the effects of alcohol. The co-founder of Thirst, with their extensive knowledge and expertise, introduced us to a variety of flavors, possibly including ingredients like calming chamomile, soothing lavender, or refreshing mint, all of which are known for their relaxing properties.
