A Simple Non-Alcoholic Gin and Tonic
One documented ratio, one glass, and no shaker required.
Ritual Zero Proof publishes a 1:2 ratio for its Gin Alternative and tonic. That gives us a useful starting point—and enough information to calculate the rest of the shopping list.
Ingredients
- 2 fl oz (59 ml) Ritual Gin Alternative
- 4 fl oz (118 ml) tonic water
- Ice
- A couple of lime wheels, the brand’s garnish
Method
- Fill a highball glass with ice.
- Add the gin alternative.
- Top with tonic and stir gently.
- Add the published lime garnish if you have it.
What else you’ll need
A highball is the vessel Ritual names. If you use a glass you already own, check that it comfortably holds 6 fl oz of liquid plus ice; the stated capacity of an empty glass is not its usable iced capacity. This drink is built in the glass. The source adds tonic after the base and asks for a gentle stir, so a shaker is not on this recipe’s tool list.
For one glass, keep the base, tonic, ice and lime visible together before starting. If you skip the lime, that is a practical simplification of the published serve, not a claim that the brand’s recipe omitted it. The photograph is illustrative; the quantities come from the named source.
Before you buy the bottle
The 750 ml bottle contains enough liquid for about 12 drinks at this recipe’s 2 oz pour—not 17. The product page’s serving count uses a smaller serving than the G&T recipe.
For 12 drinks, the published ratio calls for roughly 48 fl oz (1.42 L) of tonic. Add a little margin only if you expect spills or heavier pours; it is not part of the documented recipe.
The brand says its products contain less than 0.5% ABV. Do not relabel that as 0.0%.
If you only plan four glasses, stop at the smaller plan: 8 fl oz of base and 16 fl oz of tonic, before spills. The bottle may have enough base for twelve, but buying mixer for twelve now is unnecessary if four is the real occasion. Keep any remaining specialty bottle subject to the producer’s current storage instructions rather than assuming that the published serving count is a reason to finish it quickly.
