Looking for a low-ABV cocktail this January? I’ve got you covered.

Together with angosturahouse, we’ve created the perfect low-proof julep riff using their newest member of the bitters’ family: ANGOSTURA® cocoa bitters. This recipe combines the traditional pairing of mint + chocolate to make for an easy-to-sip, simple cocktail that you can enjoy during #DryJanuary and beyond.

ingredients:

• 1 oz. cocoa bitters

• ½ oz. mint simple syrup
  Splash of soda water

• ½ oz. Amaro di ANGOSTURA (optional)
  Fresh sprig of mint (garnish)(Garnish)

tools:

• Mixing Glass

• Jigger (Japanese Style)

• Barspoon

• Julep Strainer

• Glassware

• Other Tools

• Complete Bartending Set

instructions:

In a julep cup or highball glass, add cocoa bitters, syrup and crushed/pebbled ice, then stir to incorporate. Add more ice, then top with soda water until almost full. If you’re feeling boozy, top with a float of amaro, then garnish with a few sprigs of fresh mint. Add a julep straw, though any straw will do. Serve and enjoy!
