Cocktail culture is evolving. It’s no longer just about what to drink—it’s about how you want to drink. The rigid idea that a cocktail must contain alcohol is fading fast, replaced by a more modern, customizable approach. Whether you’re looking to enjoy a night out without alcohol (Zero), strike a balance with a lighter cocktail (Cut), or go for a traditional full-strength drink (Classic), the choice should be yours.
At Cut Above, we believe great cocktails shouldn’t be defined by alcohol content alone. They should be about flavor, experience, and intention. That’s why we created a range of zero-proof spirits that allow you to mix drinks your way—without compromising on complexity or quality.
Zero: The Rise of Non-Alcoholic Cocktails
For years, non-drinkers or those taking a break from alcohol were stuck with limited options—usually a sugary mocktail, soda, or water. But today, the demand for Zero-Proof Cocktails is higher than ever. People aren’t just saying “no” to alcohol; they’re saying “yes” to mindful drinking, better health, and elevated experiences that don’t rely on booze to be enjoyable.
The rise of Zero-Proof Cocktails isn’t just a trend—it’s a shift in how we think about drinking. Whether you’re taking a break, the designated driver, or simply want to savor a cocktail without the buzz, zero proof is for everyone. It’s not about what’s missing—it’s about what’s possible.
With Cut Above Non-Alcoholic Spirits, you can still enjoy a beautifully crafted drink with layered flavors—just minus the alcohol. No more settling for sugary mocktails or uninspired soda substitutes. Zero-proof means full flavor, full experience, and full inclusion.

Cut: The Best of Both Worlds
Somewhere between full-proof cocktails and alcohol-free drinks lies the sweet spot: Cut cocktails. These are drinks that let you enjoy the ritual and taste of a cocktail, but with only half the alcohol.
Maybe you’re not looking to go completely alcohol-free, but you want to slow things down, sip mindfully, or keep your night balanced. That’s where Cut cocktails come in—a perfect fusion of traditional spirits and zero-proof alternatives, giving you a lighter drink without losing the essence of a great cocktail.
By replacing half the alcohol in your favorite drink with Cut Above Zero-Proof Spirits, you get all the complexity of a cocktail, but with less alcohol, fewer calories, and more control over your experience.
This is a game-changer for cocktail lovers who don’t want to give up their favorite drinks but also don’t want to feel sluggish or overindulge. With Cut Above Zero-Proof Spirits, you can easily replace half the alcohol in any cocktail recipe while keeping the integrity of the drink intact.

Classic: Tradition, Elevated
Sometimes, you just want the original. A Classic cocktail is a full-proof drink made the way it’s been enjoyed for generations. But even here, quality matters. It’s not just about what you drink—it’s about how and why you drink.
At Cut Above, we’re not here to tell you to give up alcohol—we’re here to give you options. The ability to create your own adventure—whether that means starting with a Classic, transitioning to a Cut, and finishing with a Zero—makes every sip more intentional.
When you embrace this approach, every cocktail you make becomes an intentional experience. Maybe you start the night with a Classic, transition to a Cut cocktail midway through, and finish the evening with a Zero—allowing you to enjoy the full spectrum of drinks without ever feeling like you’ve had too much (or too little).
Try This: Classic Negroni
A timeless blend of bold, bitter, and herbal flavors.
