Low-ABV Cocktails to Help Keep it Light

January 13, 2022

Sometimes, less is more. We all love a good boozy beverage, but if you’re looking to ease up on the sauce, a low-proof cocktail can help you hit your goals without putting down the glass. Packing all the flavor, but with a little less punch, enjoy 2 or 3 of these low-ABV cocktails while keeping things light.

Cucumber Green Tea

1 oz Thatcher’s Organic Cucumber Liqueur
.75 oz lime juice
4 oz green tea
.5 oz agave syrup
Splash of club soda
5-7 fresh mint leaves
Cucumber ribbon, garnish

In a glass, muddle mint leaves with lime juice. Add remaining ingredients with ice to the glass and stir until well incorporated. Garnish with cucumber ribbon. 

Cucumber Basil Agua Fresca

1 pound unpeeled Persian cucumbers ends trimmed, plus more for garnish
1.5 cups fresh basil leaves (no stems), plus more sprigs on the stem for garnish
4 oz cold water
3.5 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
2 oz honey
Pinch coarse sea salt
1 bar spoon orange flower water (optional)
2.5 oz Thatcher’s Organic Elderflower Liqueur
12 dashes Angostura  orange bitters
1 (750 ml) chilled sparkling water
ice cubes

Combine the cucumber, basil, water, lime juice, honey and salt in the carafe of a blender. Place the top on the blender carafe, then blend until the mixture is smooth, at least 30 seconds. Strain the mixture twice through a sieve, pushing on the back of the mixture with a spatula to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids and set mixture aside.

In a pitcher, mix the cucumber agua fresca, Thatcher’s Organic Elderflower Liqueur, Angostura orange bitters and 2 cups of ice.

To serve, fill a Tom Collins glass with 3 to 4 ice cubes, add in 0.5 cup of the cucumber basil agua fresca cocktail mixture and top with 0.5 cup of sparkling water. Stir to combine, garnish with a sprig of basil leaves and some thinly-sliced cucumber and serve.

Prickly Pear Chilton

1.5 oz Thatcher’s Organic Prickly Pear Liqueur
Juice of 1 Lemon
Soda Water
Ice
Salt for rim

Place your salt on a plate. Run a cut lemon around the rim of a cocktail glass, and dip the rim in your plate of salt to coat the entire rim of the glass. Fill glass with ice. Add lemon juice, Thatcher’s Organic Prickly Pear Liqueur, and top with soda water. Stir with a cocktail spoon.
