BASED MOCKTAIL”
CHAPTER 1
Asia Pacific is one of the fastest growing market for non-alcoholic drinks. Introducing a
variety of innovative drinks in the market has led to the growth of non – alcoholic drinks market
(Reportlinker, 2021). Changing customer needs and introduction of new flavors and product
variants are the major factors driving demand for mocktails (non-alcoholic beverages). “Mocktail
is considered as a healthy refreshing drinks because it has no alcoholic content. Mocktail recipes
are more oriented towards the mixture of herbs and spices with fresh juices extract from fruits.
The space for this non-alcoholic drink is more projected at the food and beverages outlets as
customer preference for health-based Mocktails are gradually increasing (Innovare Academic
Sciences, 2018).
The bartender at present scenario act as an expert mixologist formulating the recipes
with more nutritive and medicinal ingredient as their guest are more knowledgeable and
responsive to what they drink. In connection to this, syzygium samarangense commonly known
as “Makopa” is grown throughout the Philippines for its fruits and were widely seen blossoming
in the rural parts of the country. They were usually eaten raw and were added salt for flavor.
Because of the
increase in awareness of various health problems associated with alcohol that has influence
consumer preference to increasingly shift towards natural ingredients and functional beverages

like mocktail, the researcher formulated an idea to utilize the green Makopa fruit extract as a
main ingredient in making mocktail drinks for this unusual fruit have many essential health
benefits. Makopa fruit is good for cholesterol, reduce toxicity, boosts immunity, control diabetes
beneficials for skin, aid in digestion, prevent cancer and muscle cramps, maintain a healthy
heart, bones and teeth, treats bladder infections, prevent constipation, and etc. (Sylvia, 2019).
And along with this growing customer demand for healthy and premium beverages that
are distinct from mass market offering and can create conditions for greater dynamism, the
researcher finds the need to conduct this study to know how can Makopa fruit be a huge part of
making a healthier mocktail drink for it contains many health benefits and to ensure that
Makopa fruit would be of any importance to a growing community in need or source or income,

acceptability of Makopa fruit extract as a main mocktail ingredient. Though the taste is an
essential part of flavor experience, it is beyond the scope of this study to delve into the science
of taste, since the method mainly focuses on its overall acceptability. In addition, this study
does not engage with complicated methods of making mocktails using machines or advance
techniques. The preparing process of the mocktail will adhere to basic and simple techniques in
order to minimize the time of arrangement. Besides, the priority is given to ingredients that are
locally available like the Makopa fruit or its other ingredients that can easily be purchased in the
market. The entire study will last from November 2021 to April 2022.

CHAPTER II
Makopa
The idea rises that the Makopa fruit can have the possibility to be useful as a nutritious
main mocktail ingredient and should be given utmost importance. Makopa or Makopa (Syzygium
Samarangense) is a tropical fruit enjoyed in the Philippines during summer. The fruit is bell
shape but the name macopa is from the Spanish word “copa” which means a goblet or wine
glass. The upside-down look resembles a cup. The fruit has light fibers and one seeds inside.
The color is varied from light green to pink and red to dark maroon coloration. It’s often the
dark colored one that’s sweetest of all. This fruit is delicious, closely resembling the taste of
apples and the watery content of watermelons, making it extremely versatile and pleasant to
consume. Apart from its exotic look and appetizing taste, the Makopa fruit is also packed with
vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and this is where the fruit really shines. Its powerful
nutritional value can help our immune system remain healthy and sturdy and will help our body
fight off certain health conditions. Or at least alleviate the unpleasant symptoms associated with

Local Studies
There are many fruits in the Philippines that are known for their distinct shape,
color, or smell. Among these is the Java apple ( Syzygium samarangense ), locally known as
makopa. Even Filipino riddles or bugtong note the characteristics of the fruit, which are its
bell or pear-like shape and bright red color. Makopa is native to Southeast Asian countries
including the Philippines, India, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Thailand.
The fruit comes from a tropical tree that can grow up to 12 meters tall. Makopa fruits also
come in different colors such as white, green, purple, and even black(Taculao, 2021). While
there is some confusion over two very similar varieties ( samarangense and malaccensis),
makopa in other languages is known by the names malay apple, rose apple, java apple,
curacao apple, pomme de java, etc. Here in the Philippines, Visayans know this fruit as tambis,
while others call it tersana, yanba or yanbu. While the fruit is mostly eaten raw here in the
Philippines (sometimes with rock salt), it is sometimes used for medicinal purposes in other
countries or as a salve for the skin. In Puerto Rico, it is also made into a wine according to

researchers think that the Makopa fruit extract may be a nutritious compound that is effective
in making mocktail drinks because of its vast range of health benefits. The Makopa fruit extract

contains watery textured extract and many health benefits that can be use in making mocktail,
in which is why the researchers thought it would be a good idea to use Makopa since it is
Usually, makopa trees can thrive even in poor soil and aren’t high maintenance. Yet
the ideal soil to grow the trees in ranges from mildly acidic to mildly alkaline and sandy to
clayey. The soil should also be kept moist most of the time to avoid water stress and to
promote growth in the trees. As for the temperature, makopa trees grow in areas with a
supply throughout their growth period. but sudden watering can cause water stress. The
best approach is to practice irrigation methods to help the soil maintain the constant level
of moisture that the trees need. To promote healthy growth in makopa trees, weeding is
also required. The trees can also be pruned as it grows older to maximize its fruit-bearing
remedy to diabetes. Other benefits of the fruit to human health include easing
constipation, promoting heart health, boosting the immune system, lowering cholesterol,
and more. Before, makopa trees could be found almost anywhere in the Philippines, even
in the middle of cities. These were a favorite among earlier generations. But the rise of
urbanization has resulted in the gradual decline in the number of trees and the demand for
fruit. Now, it is only in provinces or select areas in the city where can people catch a
glimpse of the bell-shaped fruit in abundance. Luckily, that can be changed through urban

In Indonesia, Makopa fruit is known as Jambu Klampok / Jambu Air. This fruit comes
from southeast Asia, it has a sweet and sour taste that refreshes us, and as the name implies,
this fruit has abundant water content. Makopa fruit contains vitamin C, dietary fiber, vitamin A,
calcium, thiamin, niacin, iron, and potassium. The organic compounds in it contain jambosine,
betulinic acid, and Friedel lactones. These contents bring many benefits to our body. It is an aid
in controlling diabetes, this fruit contains jambosine which is a type of alkaloid that serves to
block or adjust the conversion of starch into sugar. Further research on the effects of jambosine
on blood sugar control is still underway. However, it has been believed that these benefits are

very important for diabetic. Just like benefits of papaya, Makopa fruit also has fiber content that
serves to regulate the food travel through the digestive tract smoothly and eliminating digestive
problems such as constipation. The seed part of the makopa fruit has been used as a traditional
remedy to treat diarrhea and dysentery. It is also one of the fruits that can help prevent cancer
naturally, a study has shown that prostate cancer and breast cancer can be overcome with
makopa fruit that is used as a diet because it has an active organic compound that contains
vitamin C and vitamin A which has been known as cancer treatment and effective cancer
prevention. Makopa fruit is also used as a detoxifier, the seeds of makopa fruit that boiled are
used as diuretic substances that work to help the clear liver and kidney toxicity. Another benefit
is to improve the overall health of the body and for body metabolism, it contains fiber and
nutrients, which when they work together can produce a significant effect on cholesterol levels.
A study has shown results that the makopa fruit can overcome atherosclerosis, thus preventing
cardiovascular complications such as heart attack, stroke, and coronary heart disease. It also
contains active and stable components that have antimicrobial and antifungal effects. Research
has shown that this can protect the skin from the development of various infections, thereby
increasing the strength of the immune system against infectious diseases. To deal with dry and
dull skin, it takes a lot of water content and makopa can provide a lot of water that can be
relied upon to make your skin healthy. It also contains vitamin C which acts as an antioxidant
that works to fight premature aging, these antioxidants are also useful for maintaining skin cell
regeneration and increasing iron intake for the body. Makopa fruit contains a lot of water to
prevent dehydration, this content is very useful for consumption when the body is weak, thirsty,
tired and also dehydrated like watermelon health benefits. For those who often work using a

Mocktails
In today’s modern world it’s important to provide multiple options for customers no
matter what the business is. The food and beverage industry is no different as health and
wellbeing are becoming more and more important to us. “Increase in awareness of various
health problems associated with alcohol has shifted the consumer preference from alcoholic
drinks toward nonalcoholic drinks” (Bavar, 2018). These drinks are now known to be called
mocktails or ‘virgin cocktails’. The word mocktail simply comes from the words ‘mock’ and
‘cocktail’. Mocktails have been around for decades, but in the old days they used to look very
plain and unimaginative. Nowadays mocktails are becoming more and more popular and many
bars are adding more of them to their menu. (Danovich, 2015.) Even though mocktails have no
alcohol in them, the presentation and taste are everything. Bartenders are testing their limits as
they come up with the most innovative ingredients and decorations to make mocktail drinks

Local Studies
People nowadays believe that healthy living can be achieved through a range of healthy
ingredients found on their food and drinks. People are becoming more health conscious
everyday and watching what ingredients they are putting into their bodies, resulting in a trend
toward healthier, more fresh and locally sourced ingredients (Welsh, 2019). Mocktails are non-
alcoholic mixed drinks meant to replicate the presentation and complexity of craft cocktails, just
without the alcohol. To make mocktails, bartenders mix combinations of sodas, juices, herbs,
and syrups to create unique flavors. They also use the same mixology methods and tools they
would use with regular mixed drinks. The final product is a non-alcoholic beverage that should
be enjoyed and savored, just like a well-mixed cocktail (Ferguson,2021). Mocktails are
contemporaries of cocktails except for the sense that unlike cocktails, they contain no alcohol.
The concept of Mocktails originated from the urge to cater to the people who frequented the
bar but had no desire or urge to consume alcoholic drinks. Earlier, these people were served
with either carbonated drinks or fruit juices. These however, lacked the style and mystery
associated with the cocktail. To satisfy the urge of these people, the bartenders came up with
16

exotic ideas and created drinks which had all the qualities of a cocktail without any alcohol in it.
Since, these drinks were created as a substitute to cocktails; they came to be called as
“Mocktails” or a drink which had the qualities and sophistication to make mockery of a cocktail.
Mocktails are now as popular as cocktails and are served alone in a restaurant or in a bar
famous for preparing cocktails. There are many outlets famous for their mocktails organizing
mocktail sessions on a regular basis. It should always be kept in mind that like cocktails,
mocktails are a delicate combination of various ingredients and all care taken in preparing
cocktails and their service should be done also in the case of a mocktail. The ingredients and
the equipment required in the case of mocktails is nearly the same except for the alcoholic
beverage. (Jtewari,2018).
Mocktails are perfect for designated drivers, pregnant women and people who simply
do not want their drink to include alcohol, but the market is much wider. Especially an age
group called Millennials are often going for the healthier and more environmentally friendly
options. Millennials are people born between 1989 and 1996 and they have personality traits
that diverge from the other generations. Millennials are strong supporters of for example
climate change, equality, justice and peace. That is why they favor companies who take their
interests into account. (Cheng ,2019.) Millennials are also extremely tech-savvy and socially
aware, because they have grown with digital devices. Popular trend among them is to share
pictures on social media and promote certain products or businesses. The cooler the picture is
going to be, the more it is going to get likes and views. That is why cocktail bars need to not
only offer nonalcoholic drinks, but also make them look as fancy as the regular ones. Colorful
drink (nonalcoholic or not) is always a plus and has a higher chance of being photographed and

old enough to remember would recall the heavy advertising campaign with renowned Australian
actor Jack Thompson sitting in a bar, ordering a Claytons, with a voice-over describing it as “the
drink you have when you’re not having a drink”. Claytons became part of the Australian
vernacular referring to something that wasn’t real – a term still used from time to time. But

consumers are becoming more health conscious which makes them shift towards drinks with
fruit incorporations, all - natural ingredients, low carbohydrate, and no artificial flavors and
preservatives which also leads to the demand for healthy drinks like mocktails.
Most mocktails are made with juice, which sets the flavor tone. Whether you choose
apple, orange, grapefruit, pineapple, grape or cranberry (or make a combo, like cranberry and
Orange juice is a favorite beverage high in antioxidants and micronutrients like vitamin
C, folate, and potassium. Regular consumption has been associated with several health
benefits, including improved heart health, decreased inflammation, and a reduced risk of kidney
stones. Orange juice is a concentrated source of vitamin C, a water-soluble vitamin that doubles
as a powerful antioxidant and plays a central role in immune function. Additionally, vitamin C
helps promote bone formation, wound healing, and gum health . Orange juice is also rich
in folate, which is needed for DNA synthesis and supports fetal growth and development. Not to
mention, it’s an excellent source of the mineral potassium, which regulates blood pressure,
prevents bone loss, and protects against heart disease and stroke (Link, 2019).
Another ingredient are honey and vanilla, which was used as sweetener and adds aroma
to the mocktail. Honey offers several potential health benefits thanks to the beneficial

compounds it contains, such as antioxidants and propolis. Honey is essentially pure sugar, with
no fat and only trace amounts of protein and fiber. It contains small amounts of some nutrients,
but most people typically don’t consume enough honey for it to be a significant dietary source
of vitamins and minerals. It contains a number of antioxidants, including phenolic acids and
flavonoids, and may offer some protective effects related to blood sugar management, but it
should still be consumed in moderation, especially by people with type 2 diabetes (Shoemaker,
2021). On the other hand, according to (Staughton, 2021), Vanilla is an extremely popular
ingredient in many different culinary preparations around the world, and the scent of vanilla is
unmistakable to most people. This flavoring is derived from the orchids of the Vanilla genus,
which bears fruits that are shaped like pods. These pods can range in size from 5-22cm in
length and are considered of a higher quality when they are larger. However, these pods must
be hand-picked at precisely the right time to ensure that the seed pods don’t pop and that they
are properly ripe. Harvesting the pods is a time-intensive process, but there is a global demand
for vanilla in many different forms, not only for its use in food preparation but also in natural
healing. Vanilla is much more than a delicious flavor ingredient in our baked goods; it may also
have a number of important benefits, possibly including its potential ability to reduce acne,
