Gin-Free Fitzgerald
  • Serves 1
Author Notes

The Fitzgerald (gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, and bitters) has become my go-to after-work cocktail, but I wanted to try a version that was alcohol-free. This *does* contain bitters, which to have a very low alcohol content. But if you want your drink 100% alcohol-free, just leave them out. Enjoy! —Courtney

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • Gin-fused simple syrup
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons juniper berries
  • 1/8 teaspoon coriander seeds
  • 1 black peppercorn
  • 1 cardamom pod
  • 1 piece orange peel (about 2 inches long)
  • 1/2 bay leaf
  • Gin-Free Fitzgerald
  • 1 1/2 ounces Jasmine green tea (brew and cool)
  • 3/4 ounce lemon juice
  • 3/4 ounce gin-fused simple syrup
  • dash bitters
Directions
  1. To prepare the gin-fused simple syrup, heat 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Add the ingredients for the simple syrup and bring to a boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let the flavors steep in the simple syrup for 30 minutes. Strain into a container -- this is your gin-infused simple syrup. (You can store it in the fridge for up to one month.)
  3. To assemble the mocktail: add green tea, lemon juice, simple syrup and bitters in a shaker with ice.
  4. Shake and strain into a glass garnished with lemon. Enjoy!
