If you want to concoct delicious mocktails, you will require a few catering equipment. Here are the five most essential ones you need.
Shaker
One of the basic equipment that is used to bring smoothness and consistency in a mocktail is a mocktail shaker.

Electric Blender
Another must have at a mocktail kiosk is an electric blender. Blenders are used to blend fruit pieces into a pulp. A blender is also used to blend ice creams and thicker syrups that cannot be properly blended in a hand shaker. In fact, mocktail bartenders use electric blender as the initial step and a shaker as the second step in preparing drinks. These blenders bring a creamy smoothness to the drink.
Juicers
Of course, you need a juicer. A juicer is really help to juice fruits that have seeds or pips. Choose a juicer that effectively separates seeds and pulp from the juice. Juicers also come with inbuilt filters. Depending on the volumes of juices you plan to extract from fruits, you can buy either one or many juicers.
Measuring Tools
When it comes to mocktails, the taste is not defined just by the ingredients used by the quantity and proportion of each ingredient. The more precise you are in measuring the ingredients, the better the taste of your drink. To be precise in your measurements, you need a set of measuring tools.

Your measuring tools are the fundamental equipment you need in a mocktail kiosk.
Scoops and Tongs
Scoops and tongs are essentially used to transfer ice from the ice holder to the glass. When you have a mocktail kiosk, you should not use your hands to handle ice because it is not an hygienic practice. Besides, the heat of your hand will cause the ice to melt. Using scoops and tongs looks more professional too.
In addition to the above mentioned equipment, you need can openers, corkscrews, cutting or chopping board, cotton bar towels, bar spoon, sharp knives and mixing glass. If you like to flavour the drinks with spices, you could also have a grater so that easily grate them into the drink.
