Instructions

The Smoky Garden Sip is a complex, savory mocktail that embraces the smokiness often associated with mezcal or scotch, substituting smoked tea to capture that essence in a non-alcoholic form. This drink uses a blend of artichoke tea, complemented by herbal and citrus notes, and incorporates a smoked salt rim for an added layer of depth. Here's how to make it: Ingredients: - 1.5 oz brewed artichoke tea, chilled - 1 oz smoked black tea (such as Lapsang Souchong), chilled - 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice - 0.5 oz agave syrup - 3 fresh basil leaves - A pinch of smoked paprika - Smoked salt (for rimming the glass) - Ice cubes - Garnish: Grilled artichoke heart and lemon twist Instructions: 1. Begin by preparing the smoked salt rim. Rub a lemon wedge around the rim of a chilled rocks glass and dip the rim in smoked salt, set aside. 2. In a cocktail shaker, muddle the basil leaves gently with the agave syrup and lemon juice to release the flavors. 3. Add the brewed artichoke tea and smoked black tea to the shaker. 4. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously until well chilled. 5. Strain the mixture into the prepared rocks glass filled with fresh ice cubes. 6. Sprinkle a pinch of smoked paprika over the top for a subtle, smoky heat. 7. Garnish with a skewered grilled artichoke heart and a twist of lemon on the rim. The Smoky Garden Sip is a drink that invites contemplation, showcasing the artichoke's unique flavor profile alongside the rich, comforting notes of smoked tea. Perfect for anyone seeking a sophisticated and bold mocktail experience. Enjoy sipping on this innovative creation that provides a smoky edge without the need for any zero-proof alcohols.
