Ingredients

Mocktail

ice cubes
½ ounce ginger beer
3 ounce brewed green tea, cooled
1 ounce yuzu simple syrup, ingredients below, see notes for instructions
½ ounce fresh lemon juice
½ ounce egg white, optional (see notes)
bitters, Peychaud's or 0% bitters (see notes)

Optional Garnishes

cherries
lemon slices
mint sprigs

Yuzu Simple Syrup (makes enough for 2+ drinks)

¼ cup yuzu juice
¼ cup granulated sugar

Instructions

To make the yuzu simple syrup:

Combine the ingredients in a small measuring cup or heat-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue microwaving in 15 second increments until the sugar is dissolved. Cool completely before using.

To mix the mocktail:

Fill a rocks glass with ice cubes and add the ginger beer.
Measure the green tea, yuzu simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, and egg white (if using) into a cocktail shaker. Add 2 to 3 dashes of bitters.
Tightly close the shaker and shake for 30 seconds. Carefully uncap, add a couple ice cubes and shake again. Strain into the rocks glass.
Garnish with cherries, lemon and mint.

Notes

Consuming raw and lightly cooked eggs poses a risk of food-borne illness.
Using traditional bitters will add trace amounts of alcohol to this drink. For a completely alcohol-free experience, use a 0% bitters. These are widely available online and in speciality shops.
