Non-Alcoholic Aperitif Alternative

Ritual Zero Proof Aperitif Alternative embodies the spirit of summer with its bright, bittersweet taste and spiced citrus finish. This non-alcoholic aperitif substitute combines the bitterness of Italian aperitivo with the sweetness of French vermouth. Highlighted by flavors of orange blossom, Victoria rhubarb, and charred grapefruit, this herbaceous spirit alternative captures the essence of a traditional aperitif.

In a cocktail, of course! Our aperitif substitute is specially crafted to replace full proof aperitif in popular drinks like a Negroni or Spritz. Ritual Zero Proof is not meant to be consumed neat or on the rocks, but if you’re in a pinch we recommend drinking our spirit alternatives in bubbly water.

Ritual Zero Proof is crafted, not distilled — meaning no alcohol ever. Unlike many of the NA products on the market, we are not an “alcohol removed” spirit. Our aperitif substitute is made from the ground up, so it never has proof to begin with.

Our aperitif substitute is made with natural botanical flavors to create the nose, taste, and bite of traditional aperitif. The botanicals are refined individually to lock in their purest flavor before being carefully blended to create a sophisticated profile. After undergoing the microfiltration process, the batch is bottled and date stamped for freshness.

We meticulously source high-quality ingredients to create the desired nuances for our non-alcoholic aperitif substitute. Every bottle of Ritual Aperitif Alternative is made with filtered water, natural flavors, cane sugar, citric acid, xanthan gum, salt, caramel color, sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate as preservatives.

Nutrition labels round calories to the nearest 5, and our aperitif substitute has only about two calories of sugar. Hence, the zero. You’ll probably burn those two calories in the process of shaking your cocktail, though, if we’re splitting hairs.

All Ritual Zero Proof spirits are gluten-free and we steer clear of peanuts and tree nuts.

Ritual Zero Proof is available nationwide! Use our Store Locator Map to find our non-alcoholic aperitifs and the rest of our award-winning spirit alternatives near you.

There are several classic Ritual aperitif recipes that we love to drink, but perhaps the most enticing one is the famed Negroni! For this drink, you’ll need:

• 1 1/2 oz. Ritual Aperitif Alternative
• 1 1/2 oz. Ritual Gin Alternative
• Garnish: orange

Fill a mixing glass with ice. Add 1.5oz of Ritual Gin Alternative and 1.5oz of Ritual Aperitif Alternative. Stir the ingredients in the mixing glass for 20-30 seconds until well combined. Strain the mixture into a rocks glass filled with ice. Garnish with an orange peel, and you’re ready to serve!
