Spiritless Kentucky 74 Non-Alcoholic Bourbon Old Fashioned Recipe

With many things in life, they say that simple is best. And for some of the world’s oldest and most beloved cocktail recipes, this tends to hold true.

Unfortunately, simple cocktail recipes tend to rely heavily on the base spirits. Meaning that recreating these cocktails in alcohol-free form has traditionally been a challenge. But with the absolute explosion in delicious non-alcoholic spirits, we’re uncovering more and more classic cocktail recipes that can now be made alcohol-free.

One such cocktail is the Old Fashioned. As simple as it gets, the Old Fashioned brings together bourbon, a touch of sugar, and a dash of bitters for a rich, decadent cocktail that’s been a favorite of drinkers around the world for over 150 years. And thanks to Spiritless Kentucky 74 Non-Alcoholic Bourbon, we can now make an alcohol-free version of this classic cocktail that’s every bit as rich as the original.

Now, it’s important in any non-alcoholic cocktail to address the issue with bitters. Yes, most bitters you’ll find on the market do have an alcohol content upwards of 30% by volume, meaning that this cocktail will technically have some residual alcohol content. However, with just a few dashes of bitters called for in this recipe, that amount will be well below the 0.5% alcohol by volume that the government recognizes as the threshold for “non-alcoholic drinks”. And as we explain in detail in our comprehensive blog post, Is Non-Alcoholic Wine Safe During Pregnancy?, most people are already consuming more than 0.5% alcohol in items such as fruit juices and breads they eat every day.

That said, if you’re looking for a non-alcoholic cocktail that has absolutely zero trace amounts of alcohol, you’ll want to check out some of our other non-alcoholic cocktail recipes.
