What is the best zero-proof substitute for bourbon?
The best zero-proof substitute for bourbon is a 0.0% ABV bourbon-inspired spirit you pour 1:1 — not a sweet tea or a cola mocktail. In Singapore that bottle is Southern Belle. It is one of the driest serves in the range (0.8 g sugar / 30 ml), so the mixer or the bitters do the rounding, not extra syrup.
A whiskey-style base, not a dessert drink
What is the best zero-proof substitute for bourbon if you want an Old Fashioned shape or a ginger highball? You need non-alcoholic spirits that stand in for the whiskey pour. A bottled “bourbon punch” is a different drink. See zero-proof versus mocktails.
Southern Belle is the alcohol-free bourbon in this line. Mix 30 ml for 30 ml. Spec: how to mix zero-proof spirits.

Builds
- Highball — Southern Belle, ginger ale, lemon.
- Old Fashioned-style — Southern Belle, a dash of bitters, orange. Keep sugar off the spec; the bottle is already dry.
- 50/50 low-ABV — split with a real bourbon if the guest still wants some proof. Low-ABV cocktails.
If bourbon is not the brief
Gin, tequila, rum, aperitif. Full line of alcohol-free spirits: What We Distribute.
