Red Grape Tart Cherry Mocktail

Ingredients

  • Ice
  • 2 ounces chilled strong black tea
  • 1 ounce unsweetened red grape juice
  • 1 ounce apple cider
  • 1/2 ounce tart cherry juice
  • 1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 ounce maple syrup
  • Pinch ground cinnamon
  • Apple slice, for garnish

Directions

  1. Fill a mixing glass or cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add the black tea, red grape juice, apple cider, tart cherry juice, lemon juice, maple syrup, and a pinch of cinnamon.
  2. Stir well until the outside of the glass feels cold, about thirty seconds. Taste and add a small squeeze of lemon if you want a sharper finish.
  3. Strain into a chilled coupe or small cocktail glass. Garnish with an apple slice dusted lightly with cinnamon or nutmeg.
