The editorial take
The nonalcoholic list at Bad Daddy's Burger Bar is a real effort, not an afterthought. Four zero-proof cocktails are listed: Appleberry Fizz, Pineapple Smash, Faux Fashioned, and Mango Mirage. Two use Ritual Zero Proof spirits, and the Faux Fashioned and Mango Mirage are priced at $11 and $10. Standard soft drinks, lemonades, iced tea, and an Arnold Palmer fill out the rest. A recent customer account describes a strawberry lemonade with strawberries placed on top, compared favorably to another chain's version.
- What should I order?
- Order the Zero-Proof Faux Fashioned, made with Ritual Zero Proof whiskey, simple syrup, and Zero Proof All the Bitter. The Zero-Proof Mango Mirage, with Ritual Zero Proof tequila, bar sour mix, and mango puree, is another solid choice. For a lighter option, the Zero-Proof Appleberry Fizz combines Apple Re'al, cranberry juice, ginger beer, and lime.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone looking for a zero-proof cocktail with more structure than soda or juice will find four options here. The Ritual Zero Proof-based Faux Fashioned and Mango Mirage suit those who want a spirit-free drink with a familiar frame. Standard soft drinks, lemonades, and iced tea cover simpler tastes.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Zero-proof cocktails range from $6.00 for the Appleberry Fizz to $11.00 for the Faux Fashioned. The Mango Mirage is $10.00. Standard non-alcoholic beverages are also listed, though specific prices for those are not provided.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A dedicated Non Alcoholic Beverages section with four zero-proof cocktails is uncommon for a burger bar. Two of them use Ritual Zero Proof spirits, giving the list a specific frame rather than a generic soda-and-juice fallback. Standard soft drinks and lemonades are also listed.
