Whiskey Sour Mocktail

This bold and flavorful mocktail uses Assam tea to mimic the rich notes of bourbon, balanced with fresh lemon juice and a touch of sweetness for a perfect non-alcoholic version of the classic whiskey sour.

Ingredients

3 oz strong-brewed Assam tea (chilled)
1 oz fresh lemon juice
1 oz simple syrup (or honey syrup)
Ice cubes
Lemon wheel and marachino cherry (for garnish)

Instructions

Brew a strong cup of Assam tea and let it chill completely.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
Add Assam tea, lemon juice, and simple syrup.
Shake well for 15-20 seconds.
Strain into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice.
Garnish with a lemon wheel.
Serve and enjoy.

Tips

For extra richness, use a splash of non-alcoholic bourbon-style spirit.
Adjust the simple syrup for your desired level of sweetness.
Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.
