A Guide to the Art of Mixology: Crafting Zero-Proof Masterpieces

Mixology is a form of art which is why making cocktails without proof isn't an exception. Absence of alcohol does not mean you're sacrificing flavor or complexity. It's actually an opportunity to explore new flavor horizons and play with exciting ingredients. This is how you can be a master mixologist who is completely unproofed:

1. Balance is the key

The base of any good cocktail, alcoholic or not the key ingredient is balance. You'll need to create the perfect harmony between sweet, sour, bitter as well as savory and sweet elements. Here's a simple formula to get you starting:

• Base The Base is an alcohol-free spirit such as an AF whiskey or gin alternative.

• Bitter Bitters or herbal liqueurs can provide complexity and depth.
• Aromatic Garnishes made of herbs in addition to spices or fruit peels can enhance scent.

2. Play around to play with flavor Combinations

One of my favorite things about mixing with zero proof is the ability to experiment with unique flavor combinations. Take for instance, pairing a herbal-forward AF vodka with elderflower syrup and a touch of grapefruit to create an invigorating and flavorful cocktail. Use an AF whiskey alternative by mixing muddled berries with added thyme and a hint of it for an earthy and fruity blend.

3. Texture is Important

Look at the texture of the cocktail. Certain drinks benefit from being shaken vigorously with ice in order to produce a creamy and refreshing finale, whereas other drinks require a gentle stir so that they remain clear and elegant.
