Servings: 1 serving
Equipment
- 1 cocktail shaker
Ingredients
- 4 oz fresh persimmon juice about 2 large persimmons for me
- 1/2 oz lime juice fresh
- 1 1/2 oz non-alcoholic vodka alternative
- 1 oz simple syrup
- 2 tbsp aquafaba
- Handful of ice cubes
- 2-3 dashes bitters non-alcoholic
Instructions
- In a cocktail shaker, add persimmon juice, lime juice, non-alcoholic vodka, simple syrup, aquafaba and ice cubes. Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds.
- To serve, strain and pour into a chilled glass. Top off with bitters, to taste.
Notes
- Shake it like you mean it! Vigorous shaking is key to creating that creamy foam layer from the aquafaba. Don’t be afraid to go all out!
- Use chilled ingredients and glasses to keep the mocktail crisp and refreshing.
- Blend ripe persimmons and strain the juice for the smoothest texture. If the juice is too thick, add a splash of water to thin it out.
- Taste before serving, and tweak the syrup or citrus to suit your preference.
