National Bourbon Day Just Got an Upgrade! June 14th
National Bourbon Day Cocktails – Low and No Sugar Bourbon Drinks by Above Board Liqueurs
Celebrate National Bourbon Day with rich, premium zero sugar bourbon cocktails featuring Above Board Coffee and Cream Liqueurs.
Bourbon Lovers Are Evolving – And So Are Their Cocktails
Bourbon culture has always been rooted in craftsmanship, depth, and experience.
From smoked old fashioneds to espresso-forward nightcaps, bourbon drinkers appreciate cocktails that feel elevated and intentional. But for many health-conscious consumers, there’s been one major frustration:
Most bourbon cocktails are loaded with sugar.
For years, the only “better-for-you” option at many bars has been a neat. But bourbon lovers want more than that. They want rich flavor, premium ingredients, and cocktails that still feel indulgent.
That’s exactly why Above Board Liqueurs was created.
At Above Board, we’re helping redefine modern cocktail culture with plant-based zero sugar liqueurs made using Monkfruit and Allulose, opening the door to an entirely new category of premium no/low sugar cocktails.
You don’t have to change how you drink – just what you pour.
The Better-For-You Cocktail Movement Is Growing
Today’s consumers are paying closer attention to what’s in their glass.
People are actively looking for:
• lower sugar cocktails
• gluten-free options
• cleaner ingredients
• premium experiences that align with wellness goals
At the same time, they still want cocktails that feel:
• indulgent
• sophisticated
• social
• flavorful
That’s where Above Board Liqueurs is leading the charge in the Better For You beverage movement.
Rather than removing enjoyment from the cocktail experience, we’re helping bars, restaurants, and consumers create cocktails that feel luxurious without excessive sugar.
Why Bourbon Pairs Perfectly With Above Board
Bourbon naturally carries notes of:
• vanilla
• oak
• caramel
• espresso
• spice
That makes it an ideal pairing with:
• Above Board Coffee Liqueur
• Above Board Sugar-Free Simple Syrup
Together, they create cocktails that are bold, smooth, and indulgent while remaining aligned with modern wellness-focused lifestyles.
This combination is especially appealing for:
• steakhouses
• whiskey bars
• golf clubs
• hotel lounges
• upscale restaurants
• modern speakeasies
Above Board Liqueurs also opens an untapped revenue stream for premium no/low sugar cocktails while helping accounts move stale base spirits that may be bogging down operations.
Bourbon Drinkers Want Better Options
Health-conscious consumers are no longer satisfied with limited choices.
They want:
• espresso cocktails
• after-dinner drinks
• rich bourbon experiences
• elevated sipping cocktails
• modern whiskey classics
And increasingly, they’re asking for options with less sugar.
Above Board helps bars and restaurants meet that demand without overcomplicating operations.
Most cocktails require only:
• a base spirit
• Above Board Liqueurs
• simple fresh ingredients
That simplicity matters in busy hospitality environments.
