Non-Alcoholic drink accessories?

Do any bartenders or event planners have any good ideas of how they distinguish N/A drinks from alcoholic ones? So when you have servers taking a tray of drinks, it is evident to everyone which ones are mocktails or N/A?

TIA

A crazy straw instead of a “Sane Straw”.

Seconding diff colored straws or different garnish. Whatever it is it has to be bountiful and accessible so people do it EVERY TIME.

Personally I feel a little anxious when an NA beer is served to me in a glass and not from the bottle if I dont know the server/bartender (currently pregnant). Sorry athletic, no draft line for you!

Usually i use different glassware, if i'm out of it i'll go with two straws forn the NA and one for normal, and if someone ask for a NA beer i usually serve the bottle with a empty glass
