start of recipeWhy Choose a Non-Alcoholic Blood Orange Whiskey Smash?
A smash is casual by nature, something you can throw together with what’s on hand, but this one proves that zero proof doesn’t mean zero character. Here’s why people actually choose it:
- Because citrus season deserves better than plain juice. Blood orange adds drama and flavor that no lime can match.
- Because whiskey and mint aren’t just for juleps. The combo works year-round, not just on Kentucky Derby day.
- Because Ritual Whiskey Alternative gives you depth without slowing you down. Oak, vanilla, spice all in the glass, with none in the alcohol.
- Because it looks as good as it tastes. That crimson color and mint garnish steal the spotlight.
- Because sometimes you want a cocktail that’s refreshing, not heavy. Club soda keeps it lifted and crushable.
With Ritual Whiskey Alternative, the non-alcoholic Blood Orange Whiskey Smash isn’t just another mocktail; it’s a showpiece for real occasions.
