Monday Gin Zero ABV Mocktail Recipe

Honestly, this drink feels refreshing and balanced, even with zero alcohol. The combo of citrus, herbs, and Monday Zero Alcohol Gin gives it that crisp gin and tonic vibe, only lighter and a bit more flexible.

Equipment

• Cocktail shaker – I use this for a quick blend with ice.
• Highball glass – The tall glass just makes it look and feel like the real deal.
• Bar spoon – I stir gently, since I don’t want to lose the fizz from the tonic or soda.
• Jigger or measuring tool – Helps me pour the right amount every time.
• Strainer – I strain out any pulp or ice bits from the shaker.
• Citrus juicer – Fresh lime juice, no seeds, way better.
• Crushed ice – I like crushed ice because it chills things down fast.

Ingredients

• 2 oz Monday Zero Alcohol Gin (or any other alcohol-free gin)
• 3 oz tonic water (or club soda if you want it lighter)
• 1 oz fresh lime juice
• ½ oz simple syrup, honey, or agave (sweeten to taste)
• 1 oz pineapple juice for a hint of sweetness
• Fresh limes, cut into wedges for garnish
• Juniper berries (totally optional, nice for aroma)
• Rosemary sprig for garnish
• Crushed ice to fill the glass

Instructions

• Fill your cocktail shaker halfway with crushed ice.
• Pour in Monday Zero Alcohol Gin, lime juice, pineapple juice, and your sweetener.
• Shake it up for about 10–15 seconds, just until it’s cold.
• Strain everything into a highball glass packed with fresh crushed ice.
• Top it off with tonic water or club soda, and pour slow to keep the bubbles.
• Stir gently with a bar spoon.
• Toss on a lime wedge, rosemary sprig, and a couple of juniper berries for garnish.

Notes

Fresh lime juice really brightens the drink—bottled just doesn’t hit the same. Tonic water gives you that classic mocktail taste, but if you want it extra light, go for club soda.

If I’m in the mood for something sweeter, I’ll add a touch more pineapple juice or syrup. Sometimes I skip the extra sweetener and let the lime take over for a sharper kick.

Garnishes actually matter. Rosemary brings a clean herbal note, and the juniper berries remind me of classic gin. If I’m out of rosemary, I’ll grab some mint instead.

You can easily tweak the citrus and sweetness to your liking. This recipe’s perfect for anyone who wants that cocktail feeling—just minus the alcohol.

Tasting Notes

When I take that first sip, I get this crisp, clean taste—kind of reminds me of a light aperitif.

The flavors feel balanced, with gentle herbal notes that make it refreshing but not overly sweet.

I really like the subtle bitterness; it’s got that vibe of some classic cocktails I’ve tried before.

It gives the mocktail a more grown-up feel, honestly perfect for evenings when juice or soda just won’t cut it.

The citrus hints brighten everything up, and those botanicals add some real depth.

I think the whole mix creates a nice little ritual at the end of the day, especially when I want to slow down and just enjoy the moment.

During Dry January, this mocktail seems like a smart pick.

I get to enjoy the taste and feel of a crafted drink, but I stay alcohol-free.

I can sip it slowly and still feel like I’m part of whatever’s going on.

The finish stays smooth, with this lingering herbal touch.

It doesn’t overwhelm my palate, so I can pair it with light snacks or just have it by itself.
