Well, we're off to a slow start with Mocktail Month. Like my stretches of hiatus, there has been plenty of effort but nothing I quite dig enough to share.
This, however, I cranked out because after wrestling with some cod in a
very not-nonstick pan, I
really wanted a concentrated, potent drink. However, I also didn't want to provide my wife with any ammunition (and, you know, let's at least
pretend that I have some god-damn willpower) so we had a concentrated, potent mocktail instead.
2 oz
cryo-cucumber juice
3/4 oz blackberry shrub
1/2 oz
gin & tonic syrup
2 dashes Bitter Truth Celery Bitters
2 dashes Bitter Truth Tonic Bitters
Shake like a madman and strain over fresh ice in a short glass. Top with a (short) splash of soda and stir.
This one would have worked very well with a bit of ginger beer instead of soda, maybe with a little extra acid for balance. But it was pretty damn satisfying as-is.
