Smoked Old Fashioned

For Dry January—or any month—we’re featuring a no-alcohol cocktail that proves zero-proof doesn’t mean zero complexity. The Smoked Old Fashioned from Chef Richard Sandoval’s Art of Zero-Proof collection honors the original’s 1850s roots. It introduces a new layer of craft. With N/A bourbon, homemade bitters, and a final aromatic veil of smoke, it’s a ritual in a glass. It’s proof that the craft of cocktail making thrives, with or without the alcohol.
