Instructions

The Twilight Grove Elixir is a sophisticated mocktail that delivers a complex blend of herbal, oaky, and subtly spicy flavors, without relying on sweetness. It's perfect for those who appreciate drinks with depth and character. Served in an old-fashioned glass, it highlights the allure of darker, more aromatic ingredients with a hint of bitterness to satisfy discerning palates. Ingredients: - 4 oz strong brewed Lapsang Souchong tea (cooled) - 1 oz oakwood smoked water - 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice - 0.5 oz dark agave syrup - 2 dashes aromatic bitters (non-alcoholic) - 1/4 tsp activated charcoal (for color and a hint of smokiness) - Pinch of ground black pepper - Ginger beer (to top) - Ice cubes Garnish: - Lemon twist - Fresh rosemary sprig Instructions: 1. Begin by brewing a pot of Lapsang Souchong tea and let it cool to room temperature. This will serve as the base of the drink, providing a deep, smoky flavor reminiscent of oaky nuances. 2. In an old-fashioned glass, combine the cooled tea, oakwood smoked water, fresh lemon juice, and dark agave syrup. These ingredients will add layers of darkness, acidity, and just a touch of sweetness to balance the drink. 3. Add the aromatic bitters for complexity and a hint of bitterness without the addition of alcohol. 4. Incorporate a small amount of activated charcoal to the mix, not only to deepen the color to a rich, dark hue but also to infuse the mocktail with a subtle smoky essence. 5. Sprinkle a pinch of ground black pepper into the glass for an element of spice that complements the herbal and oaky profile of the drink. 6. Fill the glass with ice cubes and give the mixture a good stir to chill and combine the flavors. 7. Top the mocktail with a splash of ginger beer, adding a fizzy and spicy element that plays well with the other ingredients. 8. Garnish with a twist of lemon and a fresh rosemary sprig to enhance the herbal aroma and visual appeal of the Twilight Grove Elixir. 9. Serve immediately, inviting the guest to stir the drink upon receiving it to release the full spectrum of flavors and aromas.
