Zero-Proof 12 Months of Cocktails at Archer Hotel

“To your health!”

It’s a toast heard around the world. Whether raising a glass of sparkling water or wine, a mocktail or a cocktail, the focus is on health, wellness — and choices.

Dry January was just the catalyst. What used to be simple, juice-based drinks without alcohol — Shirley Temple, anyone? — are now layered, herb-infused and well-mixed (and well-garnished) cocktails that are made and served just like their alcohol-including versions. And bartenders are creating beautiful, inventive nonalcoholic recipes that taste as good as they look.

As a bonus to our featured 12 Months of Cocktails pours, our talented bartenders developed a series of zero-proof cocktails embracing the art of mixology.

Stop by anytime; we’d love to host you for the toast of your choosing.

FUN FACT: The first reference to zero-proof cocktails dates to 1862 in Jerry Thomas’ “The Bartender’s Guide,” which includes a section for “temperance drinks.”
