Pepper Leaf Craft Mocktail
This jalapeño and basil inspired mocktail can fool the most die-hard cocktail fans. The addition of a Juniper Berry and Citrus Peel "Tea" as a replacement for the sprits gives the drink the botanical complexity you might find in a botanical gin, or in a lesser-known liqueur called Escubac. Paired with lemon and Jalapeño Simple Syrup, this mocktail balances it all...savory, sweet, spicy, herbal and tart. Serve it in your favorite crystal coup for a "Dry January" that never tasted so good!!!
