Low ABV Cocktails
459 recipes. Real drinks that will not end your evening early.
A low-ABV cocktail is not a weak one. The category is built on ingredients that are flavourful and not very strong in the first place: vermouth, sherry, aperitivo bitters and sparkling wine all sit between 15 and 25% ABV and all taste of something.
The Americano is the model. Campari, sweet vermouth and soda, with no spirit at all, and it is one of the most satisfying drinks on any list. A Spritz works the same way, and a Sbagliato is a Negroni with sparkling wine where the gin was.
The trick when converting a favourite is to lengthen rather than to shrink. Half the spirit in the same glass tastes thin; the same drink stretched with soda tastes deliberate.
