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.

Essential spirits include vodka, gin, rum, tequila, and whiskey, each offering a unique flavor profile. A shaker, strainer, jigger, and bar spoon are the cornerstones of any home bar. Essential Bar Tools: Shaker: For chilling and mixing ingredients. Bar Spoon: For stirring and layering ingredients.

Basil adds a peppery, aromatic note, complementing gin and tomato-based cocktails. Techniques for Extracting Maximum Flavor To extract the maximum flavor from herbs, gently muddle them to release their essential oils. Avoid over-muddling, which can result in a bitter taste. Add rum and ice. Top with soda water.

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.
