The Jackie-O Cocktail's Enchantment
For a grand event, consider whipping up the revamped Jackie-O Cocktail, which can be transformed by replacing the bourbon with a non-alcoholic spirit. The following recipe serves as a guide, featuring jasmine tea as an alternative liquor:
Ingredients:
- 2 oz Jasmine tea (unsweetened)
- 1.5 oz Old Forester 86 proof bourbon (or non-alcoholic spirit)
- 1 oz Strawberry Preserve Syrup
- 2 Dashes Peychaud's Bitters
- 3-4 Fresh strawberry slices
Strawberry Preserve Syrup Recipe:
- 1/2 cup Strawberry preserves
- 1/4 cup Jasmine tea (unsweetened)
- 2 tbsp Sugar
Preparation:
- Blend the ingredients in a shaker tin filled with ice.
- Shake and pour the mixture into a glass.
To prepare the syrup, combine strawberry preserves, unsweetened jasmine tea, and sugar in a saucepan. Warm the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat, cool, and strain. Refrigerate the syrup for future use.
The nutritional value for the non-alcoholic variant of the Jackie-O Cocktail largely depends on the chosen non-alcoholic spirit and serving quantities. However, the ingredients primarily include:
- Jasmine tea: Contains minimal calories and sugar.
- Strawberry Preserve Syrup: Approximately ⅓ cup, whatever calories are present are primarily from sugar and strawberry preserves.
- Peychaud's Bitters: Extremely low in calories and sugar.
- Fresh strawberry slices: Minimal sugar and calories from the fruit.
The minimal quantities utilized make the overall nutritional effect negligible. However, the syrup and strawberries contribute some sugar, and the actual nutritional content would depend on the specific components and quantities used in the preparation of the non-alcoholic variation of the Jackie-O Cocktail.
