Which Zero-Proof Cocktail Should You Order?

The bar menu at Ruth’s Chris spans a comprehensive wine list, timeless martinis and fruit-forward blends — and alongside them, carefully crafted non-alcoholic options. Two signature zero-proof drinks anchor the menu, each with its own personality and ideal pairing.

Sunset Serenade: Best with Seafood and Lighter Dishes

The Sunset Serenade combines Ritual NA Gin Alternative with cranberry, rosemary syrup, fresh lemon juice and Fever-Tree Blood Orange Ginger Beer. Bright citrus and gentle ginger spice make it a refreshing companion for lighter fare: think fresh oysters, seared ahi tuna, crab cakes, salads and appetizers. If your table starts with seafood, try this mocktail!

Havana Nights: Best with Steak and Rich Entrées

Havana Nights features Ritual NA Rum Alternative, lime juice, cinnamon syrup and Fever-Tree Premium Tonic. Its warm cinnamon depth stands up to the richest items on the menu — the signature filet, ribeye, New York strip, lamb chops and hearty sides like potatoes au gratin. If a sizzling steak is the centerpiece of your night, Havana Nights is its natural non-alcoholic partner.

Can You Order a Custom Mocktail at Ruth’s Chris?

Looking for something different? Ask your server for a custom zero-proof cocktail or mocktail. Ruth’s Chris bartenders can build a drink around your flavor preferences — crisp and citrusy, fruity, or herb-forward — using the same fresh juices, house syrups, and premium mixers found across the cocktail program.

Why Are More Diners Choosing Non-Alcoholic Options?

Alcohol-free cocktails have become a mainstay of fine dining. Some guests simply enjoy the creative flavors; others are driving, dining with family, keeping a clear head for a business dinner, or choosing a lighter option without giving up the ritual of a handcrafted drink.

At Ruth’s Chris, the zero-proof menu receives the same attention to presentation and quality found throughout the restaurant. Fresh ingredients, premium non-alcoholic spirits and carefully balanced flavors make these drinks a genuine part of the meal — never an afterthought.

Best Occasions for a Non-Alcoholic Pairing

  • Date nights where one or both of you are driving
  • Business dinners that call for a clear head
  • Nights out with friends and family who are sober, pregnant or just don’t want to drink
