    Skip the liquor with this tasty Non-Alcoholic Gin and Tonic recipe.

    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.

    I love a good cocktail. And I love wine too. But there are times when I want a drink but no alcohol.

    For those times, I make a non-alcoholic drink. There are currently tons of liquor alternative products on the market which makes it 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.

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

    Why This Recipe Works

    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 any time 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).

    Don’t miss my Moscow Mule Mocktail recipe also. It’s super refreshing and totally easy.

    • 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.

    Notes

    The nutrition info is slightly off as the software does not have an option for non-alcoholic gin so it’s using the information of regular gin. 
    • 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 spalsh 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!)
