Description
This Non-Alcoholic Smoked Old Fashioned cocktail delivers the classic rich caramel, spice, and smoky aromas without the alcohol. It’s a sophisticated, flavorful mocktail perfect for anyone seeking a refined sipping experience with deep, nuanced flavors.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 oz non-alcoholic whiskey alternative or black tea concentrate
- ½ oz maple syrup
- 2 dashes Angostura-style bitters (non-alcoholic)
- Ice
Garnish
- Orange peel
- Cherry
Optional
- Wood chip smoke or smoked salt
Instructions
- Mix the Base: In a mixing glass, combine 2 oz of the non-alcoholic whiskey alternative or black tea concentrate with ½ oz maple syrup and 2 dashes of non-alcoholic Angostura-style bitters. Add ice and stir gently until well chilled and diluted to preference.
- Strain into Glass: Strain the mixture into a rocks glass that holds a large ice cube. Using a large cube helps keep the cocktail cold without diluting it too quickly.
- Garnish: Express the oils from an orange peel over the surface of the drink by holding it skin side down and giving it a gentle twist. Then, drop the peel into the glass along with a cherry for a classic Old Fashioned presentation.
- Add Smoke (Optional): For an authentic smoky aroma, briefly cover the glass with wood chip smoke just before serving or sprinkle a pinch of smoked salt on top. This step adds depth and character without altering the non-alcoholic base.
Notes
- Try using smoked maple syrup for an extra layer of smoky sweetness.
- This mocktail is excellent as an after-dinner drink to savor complex flavors.
