Ritual Zero Proof Agave Alternative Non Alcoholic Spirit

Ritual Zero Proof Agave Alternative is a nuanced, spirit-free interpretation of agave-inspired character, offering a dry, herbaceous profile with hints of baked agave, citrus, and gentle earthiness. Crafted without alcohol or added sweetness, it elevates zero-proof cocktails with depth and layered botanical complexity, making it an versatile base for mindful drinks and refined mocktails.

Origins & Craftsmanship
Designed and produced in the United States by Ritual Zero Proof, this agave alternative is crafted for those seeking a non-alcoholic foundation with structural presence and authentic character. Rather than mimicking tequila or mezcal through sugar or artificial flavorings, Ritual builds this expression with a carefully selected array of plant-derived botanicals and agave-inspired extracts that evoke the earthy, vegetal, and citrus facets associated with agave spirits.

Each botanical and extract is calibrated to offer depth and clarity, capturing notes reminiscent of roasted agave hearts and agave nectars while emphasizing dryness and balance. The result is an elevated non-alcoholic spirit that feels thoughtful, layered, and versatile across a range of cocktails.

Tasting Profile

Nose:
Inviting and complex, with soft earthy agave tones, bright citrus peel (lemon and grapefruit), and subtle herbal notes that hint at sage, coriander, and fresh cut grass.

Palate:
Medium-bodied and dry, opening with gentle vegetal agave character complemented by citrus brightness and light herbal spice. Nuances of roasted agave, mineral earth, and floral threads add depth without sweetness.

Finish:
Clean and refreshing, with lingering citrus and herbal echoes that taper into a smooth, contemplative close—dry and structured rather than sugary or heavy.
