Mocktail Social Club Skool Review: Weekly Happy Half-Hour

The Mocktail Social Club is a private, women-only Skool membership built around a weekly live "Happy Half-Hour" in which members make a drink together. Its public page displayed $25/month and 53 members when checked on 16 October 2026. This is a clearly defined hobby offer: a recurring social ritual, practical recipes and conversation. We could verify the offer copy, not the quality of private calls or whether every promised guest appears on schedule.

We found the group on page 11 of English Hobbies Discovery and opened its rendered About page at 02:35 UTC. Skool names Debbie Podlogar as creator. The page uses the public brand "Mocktail Mom®" and describes her as author of The Happiest Hour. Those are founder self-descriptions; this review does not independently verify book sales, trademark scope or professional credentials. The Discovery card calls her Deb, while the About page displays Debbie; both refer to the same linked creator.

What are members actually paying for?

The central product is not a recipe database. Free recipes are easy to find. Debbie's page asks members to join a predictable live practice: make a drink at the same time as other people, learn a technique and have a reason to return next week. Downloadable recipes let the activity continue between calls; replays are a fallback for people who cannot attend live. That repeatable event is the stronger differentiator than a large undifferentiated library.

The page also mentions guest speakers and mixologists, but it does not list a future calendar, guest frequency or sample replay. A prospective member should check the next event time and time zone, whether ingredients are announced in advance, whether ingredient purchases are separate and how often guests actually appear. Those details affect the real monthly cost and the value of a live membership. The public page does not promise ingredient kits or nonalcoholic products included in the fee, so we would not assume they are.

Who is the fit, and who might not need it?

It is most clearly for someone who wants an alcohol-free social ritual and enjoys learning by making a drink with others. Someone who only wants a few static recipes may not get enough from a recurring payment. The About page markets "better mornings", but it does not provide evidence for a health or sobriety outcome. This review makes no medical claim and does not treat the group as treatment for alcohol-use concerns.

For creators, the transferable lesson is a compact weekly format. A short, scheduled making session can connect skill-building, social accountability and a replay library without promising a sprawling course. The community-ideas guide helps test whether a hobby has an active practice loop, the engagement guide covers repeat participation, and the About-page guide shows how to state a concrete event promise. Compare a different hobby offer in our Cozy Escape Book Club review: it uses curated reading rather than a live make-along, so the audience and reason to pay differ.
