Nightcap Sour

Do you crave the warmth and complexity of a whiskey sour, but without the alcohol? Enter the Nightcap Sour, a comforting and sophisticated non-alcoholic cocktail that delivers all the rich flavors of the classic, with a soothing twist. This unique concoction swaps traditional whiskey for Three Spirit Nightcap, a non-alcoholic spirit brimming with calming botanicals like ashwagandha, valerian root, and hops.

We've made a few adjustments to the traditional whiskey sour recipe to reflect the flavor of Three Spirit Nightcap. Simple syrup has been swapped for the gentle sweetness and rich texture of maple syrup, echoing the notes found in Nightcap itself. A few dashes of our non-alcoholic Aromatic bitters add depth and spice, mirroring the complex flavor profile of the spirit, and of course, no whiskey sour would be complete without the luxurious texture of egg white.

Call it a mocktail if you must, but the result is a decadent yet balanced cocktail (sans booze) that's perfect for unwinding after a long day. The warm, woody notes of Nightcap are balanced perfectly with tart lemon and maple syrup, creating a drink that's hard not to love. Whether you're a seasoned cocktail enthusiast or a curious newbie, the Nightcap Sour promises a delightful and restorative experience.

Recipe Note

ADJUSTING THE SWEETNESS
Feel free to adjust the amount of maple syrup to your liking. If you prefer a tarter drink, use less syrup, and if you prefer a sweeter drink, use more.

VEGAN OPTION
If you're vegan or simply prefer to avoid egg whites in your drinks, you can substitute aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas) for a similar frothy texture.

WHERE TO BUY THREE SPIRIT NIGHTCAP
You can purchase Three Spirit Nightcap directly from their website or on Amazon, and can find it at specialty retailers like The Zero Proof. These stores also offer a variety of other non-alcoholic whiskey alternatives to explore, which could be used instead of Nightcap in this same recipe.
