I wanted to create a mocktail that has all the elements of a good cocktail but without the alcohol. I chose Lyre’s Highland Malt simply because it tastes so close to real whiskey and it shines when mixed in a mocktail. I added Ginger Beer because it’s bold and spicy and it really gives you that heat. I also used fig & orange spread in place of a syrup to give it more texture and complexity.
The name of the mocktail was inspired by the quote and characters on the Lyre’s Highland Malt bottle.
Ingredients:
- 2 oz Lyre’s Highland Malt (Lyre’s)
- 3 dashes Non-Alc Orange Bitters (All The Bitter | 10% Off Code: MOCKTAILWIZ10)
- 0.5 oz Lime Juice
- 1/2 tbsp Fig & Orange Spread
- 4 oz Ginger Beer
- Dehydrated Orange Wheel & Basil Leaf for garnish
Instructions:
- In a shaker glass, add Lyre’s Highland Malt, Non-Alcoholic Orange Bitters, Lime Juice, and Fig & Orange Spread
- Shake with a lot of ice for 12-15 seconds
- Double strain into a tall glass with ice
- Top with Q Mixers Ginger Beer
- Garnish with a dehydrated orange wheel and basil leaf
Cheers! 🍹⚡️
