Dry January – Spilt Milk
You often read that creating a good non-alcoholic cocktail is harder than creating one with booze. I totally agree, you have to make up for the lack of flavour and mouthfeel. For Dry January 2025, I rely heavily on caffeine.
I combined milky oolong tea with Verjus and agave syrup. The Verjus just adds that bit of acidity to balance out the drink. The agave and the sweetness of the tonic water mellow out everything.
7,5 cl Cold Milky Oolong Tea
1,5 cl Tement Verjus Apero white
1,5 cl Dark Agave Syrup

The Spilt Milk starts with a hint of the Milky Oolong. Next you can taste the combination of verjus and the sweetness. There is just a touch of bitterness from the tonic water.
