Monday Zero Alcohol Whiskey Old Fashioned

Because this cocktail lacks acidic or carbonated elements to mask the base spirit, any flaws become immediately apparent, yet Monday passes the test with flying colors. It uses natural spring water, monk fruit extract, citric acid, and natural flavors to produce butterscotch, raisin, and toasted brown sugar on the nose, transitioning to roasted coffee, rich caramel, and warm molasses on the palate, with a long spicy finish featuring a hint of orange. The heat on the finish from natural compounds provides genuine warmth distinguishing it from competitors. Priced at approximately $40 per 750mL bottle, it contains zero calories, zero carbohydrates, zero sugar, and zero alcohol. Available at Total Wine and select Whole Foods, the cocktail typically costs $14 to $16 at bars in New York and Los Angeles, offering a faithful and calorie-free alternative to the traditional Old Fashioned.
