How would I be able to describe all units of the group ring $\mathbb{Q}(G)$ where $G$ is specifically an infinite cyclic group?

You could realize that this group algebra is isomorphic to $\Bbb Q[x,x^{-1}]$, the Laurent polynomials over $\Bbb Q$.

Since it is just the localization of $\Bbb Q[x]$ at the powers of x, the units are easy to describe.
