Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing glass, combine 2 oz of non-alcoholic whiskey alternative or black tea concentrate with ½ oz of maple syrup and 2 dashes of non-alcoholic Angostura-style bitters.
- Stir with Ice: Add ice to the mixture and stir thoroughly to chill and dilute slightly, ensuring all flavors meld together smoothly.
- Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture into a rocks glass over a large ice cube to keep the drink cold and prevent quick dilution.
- Add Garnishes: Express the oils from an orange peel over the drink by twisting it, then drop the peel into the glass along with a cherry for aroma and visual appeal.
- Smoke the Drink (Optional): For an enhanced smoky flavor, briefly cover the glass with wood smoke or sprinkle a pinch of smoked salt on top before serving.
Notes
- Using smoked maple syrup instead of regular can add extra depth and complexity to the flavor profile.
