How to make a non alcoholic martini with Beefeater 0.0

The martini has always been the king of the cocktail world—stylish, smooth, and plenty sophisticated. But can you take this traditionally gin-forward drink and make it non-alcoholic? Absolutely!

 

Meet Beefeater 0.0, your answer to creating non alcoholic martini drinks that don’t compromise on taste. Our alcohol-free spirit is crafted with the same care and attention as the multi award-winning Beefeater London Dry Gin, ensuring that every sip is packed with character and zest. It’s crafted for those moments when you want all the fun and none of the alcohol, whether you’re hosting friends or enjoying a night in.

 

Here’s how to make a martini without any alcohol, plus a few non alcoholic spins on our favourite martini recipes that you can stir (or shake) at home.

Making a non alcoholic martini

Making a non alcoholic martini is easier than ever, thanks to the growing availability of quality non alcoholic spirits and aperitifs. Traditionally, a martini is made with at least two alcoholic ingredients, but with Beefeater 0.0, you can replicate the same classic taste of a gin martini without any of the alcohol.

 

Beefeater 0.0 retains the beloved juniper-forward profile of Beefeater London Dry Gin, complete with zesty citrus notes. So you still get the complexity and depth of flavour, making it an excellent base for a non alcoholic martini.

 

To complete your alcohol-free martini, you’ll need substitutes for the other key ingredients:

  • Dry Vermouth: Replace with a non alcoholic aperitif. These are widely available and offer a similar aromatic and slightly bitter taste.
  • Vodka: Non alcoholic vodka alternatives are also now common, allowing you to maintain the clean, crisp edge that vodka brings to a martini.

 

With these swaps, you’re ready to create a non alcoholic martini that’s just as satisfying as the original.
