Zero-proof
No alcohol at all. A non-alcoholic spirit swaps in for the real one 1 : 1 in any spec, but it is lighter-bodied, so lean on texture and aromatics to make up for it:
- a little more syrup or a split of two syrups for body;
- a strong garnish — expressed citrus peel, cucumber, a herb sprig — for aroma;
- tonic or ginger beer rather than plain soda, so the mixer carries bitterness or bite.
