The Fireside Cocktail is a sophisticated non-alcoholic beverage that combines the warm, cozy flavors of spiced apple cider, fresh lemon, and pure maple syrup, enhanced with the smokiness of rosemary. Perfect for chilly evenings, this drink offers a balanced and refreshing experience with a hint of spice and aromatic smoke, making it an ideal alternative for those who prefer a mocktail with depth and complexity.

Ingredients

Scale

For Smoking and Garnish

  • 1 sprig rosemary

For the Cocktail

  • 1 oz (30 ml) Pathfinder Spirit (non-alcoholic spirit)
  • 1 oz (30 ml) Spiritless Kentucky 74 Spiced (non-alcoholic spirit)
  • 1 ½ oz (45 ml) spiced apple cider (clear preferred)
  • ½ oz (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ oz (7.5 ml) pure maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Smoke the Rosemary: Using a kitchen torch or match, light a small sprig of rosemary until it begins to produce smoke. Place it on a plate and immediately cover it with a rocks glass to trap the smoke inside. Let it rest while you prepare the cocktail to infuse the glass with smoky aroma.
  2. Prepare the Cocktail: In a cocktail shaker, combine Pathfinder Spirit, Spiritless Kentucky 74 Spiced, spiced apple cider, fresh lemon juice, and pure maple syrup. Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for about 10 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
  3. Serve: Turn the smoked rocks glass upright and fill it with fresh ice. Strain the chilled cocktail mixture into the glass over the ice.
  4. Garnish and Enjoy: Garnish the drink with the smoked rosemary sprig. Optionally, re-smoke the garnish using a torch to release fresh aromatic smoke each time you take a sip. Serve immediately and enjoy the warming, smoky flavors.

Notes

  • Use clear spiced apple cider to maintain the drink’s clarity; a cloudy cider will make the cocktail look more opaque.
  • Ensure the rosemary sprig is smoking but not actively burning when covering with the glass.
  • Smoking the glass with rosemary imparts a unique smoky flavor to the cocktail, enhancing the overall sensory experience.
  • Re-smoking the rosemary garnish is optional but adds a refreshing aromatic note with every sip.
