This non-alcoholic Vampire’s Kiss Cocktail is made with zero-proof bourbon, pomegranate juice, Luxardo cherry syrup, cola, and a hint of lime juice. If you’re celebrating Sober October, this is the perfect Halloween cocktail!
This Vampire’s Kiss Cocktail is a non-alcoholic twist on the blood red cocktails you see during Halloween. It’s made with Lyre’s American Malt which is a non-alcoholic bourbon/whiskey that has a nice smoky flavor.
For that classic blood red look, we used 100% pomegranate juice with a touch of Luxardo cherry syrup for a bit of sweetness and delicious cherry flavor. To top if off, we added some cola and club soda that make it taste almost like a grown up version of a cherry cola.
For more fun and fruity zero-proof cocktails try our Floradora Cocktail or this Clover Club.
Ingredient Notes
Below are a few notes about the ingredients in this recipe. For a full list with measurements, check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post.
- Pomegranate Juice: Use 100% pomegranate juice with no added sugar.
- Non-Alcoholic Bourbon/Whiskey: We used Lyre’s American Malt in our drink.
- Lime Juice: Fresh lime juice is best.
- Luxardo Cherry Syrup: This adds a bit of sweetness and a slight cherry flavor. We just take a bit of the syrup from the jar of Luxardo Cherries.
- Cola: We used Fever Tree’s Distiller’s Cola. Feel free to use regular Coca Cola if that’s what you have on hand.
- Club Soda: Sparkling water works fine too.
Quick Tip
- Chill the cola and club soda before using them. That way it keeps your drink nice and cold when you pour them in.
FAQ
No. The zero-proof bourbon/whiskey is a large part of the drink, so it wouldn’t taste the same without it. Luckily, there are a lot of places that are starting to sell these kinds of products. No & Low, Boisson, and Lyre’s are our favorite low-ABV online stores.
We used a blowtorch to lightly torch the top of the rosemary sprig just until it started to smolder. The scent of the charred rosemary adds a nice woodsy element to the drink (almost like a campfire). If you don’t have a kitchen torch, you can use a match. It’s not required, but it adds a nice touch. 🙂
