This was my first attempt at creating a non-alcoholic cocktail using a “non-alcoholic spirit.” The name is a nod to the fact that if it were made with full-proof gin, it would be a buck, but it parallels a Shirley Temple.
- 1 1/2 oz Free Spirits’ Spirit of Gin
- 3/4 oz lime juice
- 1/2 oz grenadine
- 2 oz ginger beer
Shake the spirit of gin, lime juice, and grenadine with ice and strain into a chilled coupe glass. Top with the ginger beer. Garnish with a twist of lime or a brandied cherry.
I was quite pleased with how it came out. I hope you enjoy. Cheers.
