Technique Notes
Add the ginger beer last and do not stir it hard. Its carbonation is the only lift a zero-proof build has, so anything that kills the fizz leaves the drink slack.
Why the Aromatic Ginger Fizz Works
Non-alcoholic aromatic bitters replicate the warming spice complexity of classic bitters-forward highballs. Ginger beer's natural bite pairs with the aromatic spice to create genuine depth without alcohol; lime supplies the acid that keeps the drink from turning syrupy.
