Ritual Zero Proof Negroni

The Ritual Zero Proof Negroni delivers the most convincing zero-proof replication of the iconic stirred cocktail, achieving balanced bitterness and a dry, lingering finish. This cocktail uses 1.5 oz of Ritual Gin Alternative and 1.5 oz of Ritual Aperitif Alternative, stirred with ice for 20 to 30 seconds, strained over fresh ice, and garnished with an expressed orange peel. The Gin Alternative offers juniper bite with cucumber, angelica root, coriander, and mint; the Aperitif Alternative provides orange peel, gentian root, chamomile, clove, and cinchona bark. Ritual Zero Proof, founded in 2019, offers one of the widest NA spirit portfolios. Their Negroni bundle (two 750mL bottles) retails for approximately $60; at bars, the cocktail costs $14 to $16.
