Uncle Willie’s McSpritz

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:

1. In a shaker glass, add Lyre’s Highland Malt, Non-Alcoholic Orange Bitters, Lime Juice, and Fig & Orange Spread
2. Shake with a lot of ice for 12-15 seconds
3. Double strain into a tall glass with ice
4. Top with Q Mixers Ginger Beer
5. Garnish with a dehydrated orange wheel and basil leaf

Cheers! 🍹⚡️
