For one non-alcoholic gin and tonic, Ritual Zero Proof’s recipe calls for 2 fl oz of its Gin Alternative and 4 fl oz of tonic, built over ice with lime. You do not need a shaker. Below you’ll find the method, metric equivalents, and the mixer quantities for more than one glass.
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.
Choose how many glasses to make
Pick the number you actually need. These are liquid shopping totals for individual drinks, not instructions for a pitcher. Every glass still needs ice and the published lime garnish.
2 fl oz base
4 fl oz tonic
About 59 ml base and 118 ml tonic
4 fl oz base
8 fl oz tonic
About 118 ml base and 237 ml tonic
8 fl oz base
16 fl oz tonic
About 237 ml base and 473 ml tonic
12 fl oz base
24 fl oz tonic
About 355 ml base and 710 ml tonic
Measure the base into each iced glass, then add its tonic and stir gently. The source gives no holding time for a finished batch; leave the remaining components separate until you need another glass. For other quantities or to deduct what you already have, use the Serve Planner.
Before you buy the bottle
The 750 ml bottle contains enough base for 12 complete recipe pours at 2 US fl oz each, rounded down before losses—not 17. That is base capacity, not a guarantee that twelve finished drinks are available: tonic, ice and garnish can run out first. The product page's 17-serving count is a different measure.
Twelve builds would use 24 fl oz of base and 48 fl oz (about 1.42 L) of tonic. A 750 ml base bottle nominally contains about 25.36 US fl oz, leaving roughly 1.36 fl oz after twelve exact base pours. Spills and a generous measure reduce that remainder; any extra shopping margin is your choice, not part of the recipe.
The brand says its products contain less than 0.5% ABV. Do not relabel that as 0.0%.
The bottle may have enough base for twelve, but that is not a reason to buy tonic for twelve tonight. Keep the rest of the specialty bottle according to its maker's instructions; a yield calculation is not a deadline to finish it.
Before changing an ingredient
Can soda water replace the tonic
It creates a different build. Ritual's measured recipe specifies tonic; plain sparkling water is not the same ingredient. If you want this documented G&T, keep its mixer. For package choices, the tonic guide starts with the amount you need, not a generic pack count.
Can another botanical base use this recipe
Use the instructions published for that bottle. Our gin-alternative comparison distinguishes Ritual's measured recipe from Seedlip's open top-up. The ratio here is not evidence that every gin alternative gives an equivalent result.
Can the whole drink be called zero-calorie or 0.0
Not from the base bottle's marketing alone. The tonic has its own ingredient and nutrition information, and Ritual's less-than-0.5% statement is not a numerical 0.0% claim. This guide does not calculate nutrition or a measured ABV for the finished glass.
