Ingredients List:
- 2 oz FLUÈRE Original (non-alcoholic spirit)
- 1 oz Fresh Lime Juice
- 1/2 oz Simple Syrup (adjust to taste)
- Ice Cubes
- Matcha Powder (optional, for a matcha twist)
- Coffee Beans (optional, for a coffee twist)
- Mint Leaves (for garnish)
- Lime Wedge (for garnish)
Preparation Instructions:
Step 1: Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add the FLUÈRE Original, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and a handful of ice cubes. Tip: You can adjust the sweetness of the drink by adding more or less simple syrup, depending on your preference.
Step 2: Shake to Chill
Shake the ingredients well for about 10-15 seconds to chill and combine the flavors. Pro Tip: Be sure to shake the mocktail thoroughly so the flavors meld together beautifully.
Step 3: Add Your Twist (Optional)
For a matcha twist, add 1/2 teaspoon of matcha powder into the shaker along with the other ingredients. For a coffee twist, drop in a few coffee beans for an added depth of flavor. Shake again to incorporate the twist you prefer. Key Tip: If using matcha, make sure to shake it well to dissolve the powder completely into the drink.
Step 4: Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe or martini glass, ensuring a smooth, elegant finish. Optional: For a fun presentation, you can rim the glass with a little sugar or lime zest.
Step 5: Garnish and Enjoy
Garnish with a fresh mint sprig and a lime wedge for a burst of color and fragrance. Optional: You can also add a few coffee beans or a dash of matcha powder on top as a decorative element.
