Ingredients

  • Zero Proof Gin Alternative – You might have a favorite zero proof gin already. If not, I’d recommend Ritual Zero Proof Gin Alternative or Drink Monday Gin as only a couple of the best non alcoholic gin brands available.
  • Tonic Water – Fever Tree is a great brand, and is widely available in different tonic flavors. This brand also offers club sodas and ginger beer.
  • Squeeze of lime – Squeeze 1/4 or 1/2 of a fresh lime.
  • Garnish – Garnish your mocktail with a lime wedge or wheel. Other great garnish options include a lemon peel, lemon wheel, or rosemary sprig.
