The Best Mocktail Recipes that Don't Disappoint

Margarita Mocktail

The margarita’s popularity dates back to 1953 when Esquire magazine called it the “Drink of the Month.” And that popularity hasn’t waned one bit over the last 70 years. With the Ritual Zero Proof Tequila Alternative and non-alcoholic triple sec alternative, Dhōs Orange, you can enjoy your salty and sweet beverage with a clear state of mind.

 Directions:

  1. On a small dish, sprinkle some salt. Using a moist paper towel, lightly wet the rim of a cocktail glass or margarita glass. Coat the wet rim in salt. Set aside for the time being.
  2. In a cocktail shaker, combine Ritual Zero proof Tequila Alternative, Dhōs Orange, and lime juice. Shake with ice until cool. Pour into the salted glass you set aside in the last step.
  3. Finish it off with your lime slice garnish.

Mojito Mocktail

There are several hypotheses on the origin of the name Mojito. One theory states that the name is related to a Cuban seasoning made from lime called mojo, which is used to flavor food. Another states that Mojito is nothing more than a derivative of mojadito, which is Spanish for “lightly wet,” the diminutive of mojado, which means “wet.” Either way, the drink is delicious, especially when made with tasty alcohol-free rum like RumISH.

  • 1 ¼ fl oz RumISH
  • 12 mint leaves
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • ½ fl oz lime juice
  • 2 fl oz soda water
  • Some crushed ice

Directions:

  1. In the bottom of a glass, place the mint leaves.
  2. Muddle the crushed ice in the glass with the RumISH, sugar, and lime juice.
  3. Add the soda water and any remaining mint leaves as a garnish.
