Black Velvet Mocktail

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup strong brewed black tea
• 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon molasses
• 1/2 cup cold brew coffee, chilled
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 1/2 cups dry non-alcoholic sparkling wine, chilled

Directions

1. Warm the black tea in a small saucepan or microwave-safe cup until steaming. Whisk in the brown sugar, cocoa powder, and molasses until smooth, then let it cool. Stir in the cold brew coffee and lemon juice, and chill until very cold.
2. Divide the coffee mixture between two chilled Collins glasses. Slowly top each glass with the non-alcoholic sparkling wine, pouring down the side of the glass to keep the foam gentle. Give each drink one very light stir and serve right away.
