This past January, the effervescent Winter Spritz was on full display (Prescribed Gin, Aperol and Cara Cara Orange Juice) , while March aptly boasts the St Patrick’s Day-themed Rocky Road to Dublin (Jameson Stout, Green Chartreuse, a few dashes of Peychaud’s). Muddle with agave, add ice, tequila and grapefruit juice and shake.

Monday : With whiskey and gin alternatives, you can recreate many classic cocktails with Monday’s non-alcoholic spirits. Amass : Although they are known for their alcoholic spirits, Amass also makes a zero-proof spirit using gin botanicals– although they say not to expect a gin proxy, per se. Top with ginger beer.

Here, I’ve combined a muddle of mint and strawberry with whiskey and sparkling wine, but this works equally well with vodka or gin for non-whiskey drinkers. Use sturdy flutes or champagne coupes to muddle the strawberries briefly. Chop them a bit to make them easier to muddle in the glass. Use very ripe, juicy fruit.

The fruit can either be muddled or cooked into the simple syrup base, depending on preference. I like to muddle the fruit into simple syrup when I want to preserve the fresh flavor of the fruit, like with my Fresh Raspberry Simple Syrup. Stir with a bar spoon until chilled. Serve with a straw.

Keep in mind that if you enjoy unsweetened cocktails like the Vodka Soda, Ranch Water, or Gin Rickey, you can also just omit the sweetener for an ultra refreshing take on this classic summer sipper! Gently churn the mixture with a bar spoon or swizzle stick, then top with club soda. Pebble ice is preferred, but not mandatory.
