    Whether you're doing Dry January or just prefer a mocktail, this virgin drink using a gin alternative is a delicious zero-proof twist on a classic cocktail.

    Let's make a non alcoholic Gin and Tonic.

    This virgin Gin and Tonic is perfect when you want a drink but no alcohol. I love a good cocktail. And I love wine too but sometimes life just calls for a mocktail.

    There are currently tons of liquor alternative products on the market which makes mixing up a non-alcoholic drink so easy.

    Instead of mixing elaborate mocktails with fruit juices, etc., you can make a virgin version of a classic cocktail that tastes amazingly close to the real thing.

    Why This Recipe Works

    My old go-to was a Bitters and Soda but with a gin alternative, I can enjoy a refreshing non alcoholic gin and tonic.

    Gin has a crisp, herbal flavor that is super refreshing. It's classically paired with tonic and a little lime, to make a yummy, super easy, 3 ingredient drink.

    If you're already a fan of the G&T, you're going to love this alcohol-free version.

    This Zero-Proof gin is really flavorful. I love that you get the same herbal notes plus they've even figured out how to give a little heat on the throat to mimic the liquor effect.

    Ritual also has whiskey, rum and tequila alternatives so you can make all your favorite drinks without alcohol.

    You can drink this anytime since there is no alcohol!

    And just like the original, it's easy to modify and give the flavors a twist. (like in my Grapefruit Gin and Tonic).

    What you need to make a virgin Gin and Tonic.
    • Ritual Zero Proof Gin Alternative
    • Tonic
    • Lime

    See the recipe card for quantities.

    Instructions

    A cocktail glass on a table next to a jigger and bottle of zero proof gin alternative.

    1. Add ice to a glass

    Use a short cocktail glass for this drink to make it as close to the boozy recipe. But it is so refreshing, you may want to grab a larger glass next time you made it.

    2. Add the Ritual Zero Proof Gin

    A can of tonic on a table next to a glass with ice in it.

    3. Top with Tonic

    4. Add a squeeze of lime

    And you're all set! You are really going to love this no alcohol Gin and Tonic.

    Top Tips

    • Don't like tonic? You can use club soda for another super simple non-alcoholic drink idea.
    • Looking for a little more flavor? Add a splash of fruit juice like cranberry or orange.
    • You can use this Zero Proof gin in place of gin for other cocktails (Try it in this Gin and Tea Cocktail and my Blackberry Gin and Tonic!)
    • Grab flavored tonic to make a quick spin on the classic.
    • Add a little more flavor and sweetness with flavored simple syrups.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the best non-alcoholic gin?

    I like to use Ritual Zero Proof Gin but there are tons of options on the market. Seedlip, Tanqueray Alcohol-Free, Gordon’s Alcohol-Free, Everleaf Mountain Spirit are available. Plus there are some other non-alcoholic spirits that are blends of herbs and can be used for martinis, gimlets, etc.

    What is clean gin?

    Clean gin has a really low alcohol content but isn't the same as non-alcoholic gin. Just be clear about what you are buying so you know what you are using in your drink.
