Exit Music

Making great nonalcoholic cocktails often requires more development and prep work than their boozy brethren. That’s not the case with Exit Music, an NA Negroni crafted entirely from four off-the-shelf ingredients. Ritual’s Zero Proof Gin Alternative and Lyre’s Pink London Spirit combine to make a close approximation of gin, while Giffard’s Sirop Aperitif and Martini & Rossi’s Vibrante NA L'Aperitivo combine to add the citrus and botanical profiles that Campari and sweet vermouth usually provide.

1 ounce Giffard Sirop Aperitif
1 ounce Martini & Rossi Vibrante NA L'Aperitivo
¾ ounce Ritual Zero Proof Gin Alternative
¾ ounce Lyre's Pink London Spirit
Garnish: 1 grapefruit or orange half wheel


Stir all the ingredients over ice, then strain into a double old-fashioned glass over 1 large ice cube. Garnish with the grapefruit half wheel.
