Taylor Swift's Favorite French Blonde (Mocktail Version)

Rumored to be one of Taylor Swift’s go-to drinks, the French Blonde cocktail is light, citrusy, and subtly floral. This version recreates that same elevated flavor—without the alcohol—using high-quality non-alcoholic spirits.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice
  • 2 oz non-alcoholic bianco vermouth
  • 1 oz non-alcoholic gin alternative 
  • ½ oz elderflower syrup or cordial
  • 5 dashes lemon verbena bitters
  • ice

Instructions
 

  • Fill a cocktail shaker with light ice
  • Add the grapefruit juice, non-alcoholic bianco vermouth, non-alcoholic gin, elderflower cordial, and bitters
  • Shake vigorously
  • Strain into a chilled coupe glass
  • Garnish with a grapefruit rind or lemon twist

Notes

  • A lemon or grapefruit twist makes for a fun and fancy garnish
  • Don't forget to sip dramatically while pretending you're the subject of a chart-topping love song
