Instructions

Description: The Kansas City Sunset Serenade is a refreshing and vibrant mocktail that encapsulates the warm hues of a Missouri sunset with a nod to the city's rich jazz heritage. This non-alcoholic drink combines the sweet and smoky flavors reminiscent of Kansas City's famed barbecue scene with a spark of effervescence to keep it light and uplifting, just like the city's vibrant music. Ingredients: - 1/2 cup fresh blackberries (a tribute to the state fruit) - 1/2 cup pineapple juice (for a tangy sweetness) - 1 teaspoon maple syrup (a nod to Midwestern love for wholesome sweetness) - 1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke (to add a hint of that signature Kansas City barbecue essence) - 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice (to cut through the sweetness with a bit of tartness) - Ginger beer (for a fizzy, spicy kick that jazzes up the drink) - Ice cubes - Fresh rosemary sprig (for garnish) - Lemon wheel (for garnish) Glass: Serve in a mason jar to give a casual and homey feel that aligns with Kansas City’s down-to-earth spirit. Instructions: 1. In the bottom of the mason jar, muddle the blackberries thoroughly to release their juice and flavor. 2. Strain the blackberry puree through a fine mesh sieve back into the mason jar to remove the seeds, pressing to extract as much juice as possible. 3. Add the pineapple juice, maple syrup, liquid smoke, and lemon juice to the jar. 4. Fill the jar with ice, leaving about an inch of space at the top. 5. Top off the mocktail with ginger beer, and stir gently to combine all ingredients. 6. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary and a lemon wheel on the rim of the jar. 7. Serve immediately, encouraging the drinker to enjoy the layered flavors that represent the heart and soul of Kansas City. Enjoy the Kansas City Sunset Serenade as a refreshing summer mocktail or as a unique signature drink for a barbecue or music-themed party. It's a toast to the city that swings to the rhythm of blues and jazz, with a taste as captivating as its sunsets.
