Kentucky 75
/A bourbon-based bevvie that’s as easy to assemble as it is to drink.
Shrubs are another well-kept secret of the non-alcoholic drinks world. These drinking vinegars come in a multitude of flavour combinations and can really add character to non-alcoholic drinks. On their own with soda water, they’re great, but in a non-alcoholic cocktail they’re dynamite. Canadian company Wild Muskoka makes a mouthwatering tart strawberry and sumac shrub that just called to be paired with a zero-proof whiskey for a Kentucky Buck. The usual citrus in a buck is replaced here with the shrub, and light ginger beer helps keep the sweetness in check.
Ingredients
2 oz zero proof whiskey
1⁄2 oz Wild Muskoka Strawberry Sumac shrub
3 oz Fever Tree light ginger beer
3 dashes of All The Bitter alcohol-free Aromatic Bitters
Preparing your non-alcoholic cocktail
Add bourbon, shrub and bitters to a rocks glass and stir gently to combine.
Strain into a Collins glass with fresh ice, and top with
ginger beer.
Garnish with candied ginger.
