Cape Malt Old Fashioned
Bold, elegant and surprisingly complex. The Cape Malt Old Fashioned is the ultimate alcohol-free cocktail for the modern bon vivant. This mocktail combines deep malt tones with a subtle spiciness and citrus accents, without missing the alcohol. Ideal for a relaxing evening by the fire, a fancy dinner or just because you fancy something special.
Ingredients
- 60 ml Abstinence Cape Spice
- 15ml Malt extract or non-alcoholic malt spirit (such as Rebels Malt Blend)
- 5 ml sugar syrup (or to taste)
- 2 dashes Aromatic Bitters (non-alcoholic alternative if desired)
- Orange peel (for garnish)
- Ice cubes
Preparation method
- Fill a lowball glass (whiskey glass) with ice or place it in the freezer to pre-chill.
- In a mixing glass (or directly into your glass) combine the Cape Spice, malt extract and sugar syrup. Stir briefly to combine.
- Add 2 dashes of bitters for that classic Old Fashioned kick. Stir again to combine.
- Fill your glass with a large ice cube or a few chunky cubes. Pour the mixture over the ice.
- Cut a piece of orange peel, squeeze the oils over the glass and rub it around the rim for extra aroma. Add as a garnish.
