Non-Alcoholic Blackberry Sour (Blackberry Lemon Mocktail)

Lindsey Neumayer
This non-alcoholic blackberry sour recipe is the perfect blackberry mocktail for anyone. This drink is made with a homemade blackberry syrup and a zero-proof whiskey alternative, so it’s similar to a seasonal whiskey sour. It has a perfectly balanced sweet-tart flavor without any of the booze!

Equipment

  • 1 cocktail shaker
  • 1 cocktail sieve to double-strain, optional
  • 1 measuring beaker or jigger
  • 1 citrus press or citrus juicer
  • 1 cocktail pick
  • 1 knife
  • 1 cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ounce blackberry simple syrup
  • 2 ounces non-alcoholic whiskey recommended brand: Spiritless Kentucky 74
  • 1 ounce lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • .5 ounce egg white from 1 egg, freshly cracked with the yolk separated, or pasteurized egg whites
  • 5 dashes lemon verbena bitters or other lemon or citrus bitters
  • 3 blackberries for garnish
  • ice large 2-inch cube or sphere and one 1-inch cube

Instructions
 

For the Garnish

  • Place 3 blackberries on a cocktail pick. If you have a few extra moments, place them in the freezer for up to 30 minutes. They’ll develop a nice frost when you take them out of the freezer!

For the beverage

  • Place your large ice cube or sphere in your chosen cocktail glass to allow it to temper.
  • Add one 1 x 1 inch ice cube to a cocktail shaker.
  • Add 1 ounce of blackberry simple syrup.
  • Next, slice and juice a lemon to get 1 ounce of lemon juice and add it to the shaker.
  • Add 2 ounces of whiskey alternative.*
  • Then, add .5 ounces of egg whites to the shaker. **
  • Finally, add 3 - 5 generous dashes of lemon verbena bitters.
  • Shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds, until you can’t really hear the ice cube shaking around as much. This helps to get a nice, thick, stable foam.
  • Strain your mocktail into your chosen cocktail glass with a large ice cube.
  • Garnish with fresh blackberries that have been skewered on a cocktail pick.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

*If you are not using whiskey alternative, try adding sparkling water to the glass of ice, then topping with the rest of the mocktail ingredients. You can also substitute still water in place of the alcohol alternative spirit.
** As long as you are using fresh eggs (not past their expiration date) or pasteurized egg whites, you’re golden! I know it can be a little weird to pour an egg white into your drink, but trust me, it helps give body and a velvety mouthfeel to this mocktail.
If you are vegan or vegetarian, you can use .5 ounces of aquafaba.
