A festive low abv option made with non-alcoholic spirits. This is the perfect cocktail if you want to give your Thanksgiving a mild kick, or simply taper down after a few strong drinks. Use any preserves you like—even cranberry, if you want the taste of Thanksgiving in a glass. We make ours low abv by substituting our whiskey replacement for the hard stuff, but leaving in the triple sec. You can also make it zero proof by swapping in more orange juice for the triple sec. Either way, you can enjoy a few without turning your turkey coma turning into an all-afternoon event.
3/4 c. Ritual Zero Proof Whiskey Alternative
1/2 cup ice (plus more for serving)
2 Tbsp preserves or jam of choice (we went with organic raspberry)
2 Tbsp bourbon
1 Tbsp triple sec
2-3 Tbsp orange juice
Orange segments
A splash of club soda
Add ice, preserves, bourbon, triple sec and orange juice to a shaker and shake vigorously for 15 seconds. Pour into serving glass with a few ice cubes and top with a splash of club soda. Garnish with orange slices and enjoy. Repeat for more drinks.
