    1. Fill a cocktail shaker or mason jar with ice. Pour in the whiskey alternative, lemon juice and simple syrup (maple syrup or honey). Close lid and shake well.

    What is non-alcoholic whiskey?

    Alcohol free whiskey is an innovating beverage made to mimic the taste of whiskey but without the alcohol. Typical infused flavors may include oak, sugar and vanilla. They also mimic the burning sensation that comes with a typical whiskey.

    The good news is, you can enjoy these flavors for minimal calories and no hangover! Sign me up! There are a number of alcohol free spirit alternatives on the market. Some popular brands of non-alcoholic spirits include:

    • Whiskey: Ritual Zero Proof Whiskey Alternative
    • Gin: Monday Zero Alcohol Gin
    • Campari: Lyre’s Italian Orange Non-Alcoholic Spirit

    Non-alcoholic whiskey works well in mixed mocktail recipes such as this whiskey sour mocktail, bourbon sour mocktail or millionaire sour. You can even experiment with other fun flavors by adding angostura bitters.
