Why You’ll Love This Non Alcoholic Gin and Tonic
- USES A NON ALCOHOLIC GIN ALTERNATIVE that tastes exactly like alcoholic gin. You won’t even miss the alcohol or hang over, guaranteed!
- A SIMPLE 3 INGREDIENT MOCKTAIL with no fancy bar equipment required.
- BETTER THAN CANNED GIN AND TONICS. I have tried the pre-made canned Gin and Tonics out there and I have to say, they lack in flavor and can be pretty expensive. Some are as much as $5 for an 8 ounce bottle! Opt for mixing up your own.

What Is A Gin and Tonic Mocktail?
A Gin and Tonic mocktail is the non alcoholic version of a classic Gin and Tonic cocktail.
The Gin and Tonic is exactly how it sounds, a drink made with both gin and tonic water. They are typically served with a lime slice garnish but over the years lime juice has been added into the Gin and Tonic.
The flavor profile is light, crisp, with notes of juniper and lime. Although this recipe has no alcohol, I guarantee you would never know the difference.
Gin and Tonic Mocktail Ingredients
This is seriously one of the simplest mocktails. It is only 3 ingredients, and 4 if you include the garnish. Below are a few notes and substitutions for each ingredient.
What Is The Best Non Alcoholic Gin?
NOTE: Non alcoholic spirits are all made differently so depending on your taste preferences, some will taste better than others. I like to give multiple options so you are able to find which non alcoholic gin you prefer.
In my opinion, Monday Gin has been the best non alcoholic gin I have tried (again, not sponsored). It is has the bold and distinct juniper berries flavor gin is known for. The next closest option is Free Spirits which also has juniper flavor along with citrus, but it didn’t outshine Monday.
I have also tried Lyre’s which has less juniper flavor and is more on the citrus side with notes of orange, lime, and jasmine. Ritual also had less juniper flavor and was more earthy with pine and coriander.
Equipment Needed
- Glassware: Gin and Tonics are best served in highball glasses like the ones you see pictured. But, feel free to use any drinkware, there is no wrong answer here.
- Citrus Juicer, handheld.
- Stirrer or a long spoon.
How to Make A Gin and Tonic Mocktail
1. ADD ice to a glass.
2. POUR non alcoholic gin and lime juice into the glass. Top with tonic water.
3. GARNISH with lime slice and stir well before drinking.
NOTE: If your Gin and Tonic is a little bitter add a half ounce of sweetener and give it a good stir. Sometimes limes can be bitter while others are more fragrant and light.
Non Alcoholic Gin and Tonic Variations
A classic Gin and Tonic is the perfect canvas for other flavor combinations and additions. Here are a few fun suggestions:
- Make it a Pink Gin and Tonic with Pink London Spirit. It has notes of rose, cherry, raspberry and black berry. I substitute the lime juice for lemon juice. It’s a beautiful option for baby showers and bridal showers.
- Not a fan of tonic water? Substitute the tonic with your favorite mineral water, lemon lime soda, or 100% fruit juices like grapefruit and pineapple juice.
- Add flavored simple syrups like Strawberry, Jalapeno, Cardamom, or Pomegranate. My Blueberry Gin cocktail recipe has the best homemade blueberry syrup included.
