This Alcohol Free Old Fashioned Drink tastes like the traditional recipe, but with no alcohol!
Making a mocktail or non-alcoholic old fashioned cocktail is impossible without zero proof spirits. But I have found some amazing ones I know you’ll love!!
Alcohol Free Old Fashioned Drink
I have found (both) an non-alcoholic Bourbon and a non-alcoholic bitters that go great in this recipe.
The products are zero proof, but I must mention that on the websites, they urge buyers not to give these items to minors. Perhaps it’s the desire not to encourage kids to develop a taste for alcohol. Or maybe it’s just a disclaimer that all spirits (zero proof or not) must include. But I felt it important to mention it here.
Non Alcoholic Old Fashioned Mocktail Garnishes
Since it’s a mocktail, it deserves a little extra celebration. Try adding a few garnishes to make this drink a little extra special. Or skip them all together.
- Orange Twist
- Cocktail cherry
- Sprig of thyme
- Orange wedge
