(Re)Defining Mixology.

The Mindful Mixer is Central New York's first mocktail wellness workshop experience, offering a fresh approach to celebrating with health-forward, alcohol-free beverages. Founded by Cristi Kaido – a certified personal trainer, nutrition coach, wellness coach, and former bartender/event coordinator – The Mindful Mixer blends wellness, creativity, and community in every pour.

In addition to workshops, we offer private event mocktail experiences—bringing beautifully crafted, alcohol-free beverages to celebrations in a way that still feels intentional, elevated, and aligned with our approach to wellness.

What started as a local workshop experience is beginning to grow into something bigger—bringing mindful mixology into communities beyond Central New York, and creating space for others to share this experience in their own way.

OUR MISSION IS SIMPLE

Make drinking fun, mindful, and nourishing. Every mocktail is crafted with intention and packed with functional ingredients that support energy, immunity, and overall well-being.

For Wellness Professionals & Community Leaders

Are you passionate about wellness, connection, and creating meaningful experiences?

Over the past year, I’ve had more and more people ask how I’ve built The Mindful Mixer—and whether something like this could exist in their own communities.

While I’m still in the early stages of developing what this could look like, I’m beginning to explore ways to share this experience more broadly.

If this speaks to you, you’re invited to join the interest list below.
