Ingredients
- 3 ounces freshly squeezed sweet orange juice
- 1 tablespoon @LIVAFOODS date powder
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ice cubes, (4-5)
- 1 large chili pepper (such as jalapeño), charred and seeds removed
- ½ ounce date syrup
- 1/2 ounce lime juice
- Ice cubes, (4-5 small)
- 1/2 ounce @Sobrii 0-Gin alternative
- 1/2 ounce lime juice
- 1 tablespoon @LIVAFOODS date powder
- pinches of beet powder, for color (should be tasteless)
- Ice cubes, (4-5)
- 1 ounce sparkling water
- Lime slice, for garnish
- Charred chili pepper, (optional)
Directions
- Start by preparing the charred chili layer. Begin charring the chili pepper over an open flame or on a hot skillet until the skin is blackened. Let it cool, then remove the seeds and finely chop the chili.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the charred chili, date syrup, lime juice, and ice cubes for the charred chili layer. Shake well to infuse the flavors.
- Strain the mixture into a separate glass, leaving behind any chili pieces. Set the charred chili mixture aside. Rinse-out the cocktail shaker to prepare for the next layer.
- In the clean cocktail shaker, combine the freshly squeezed orange juice, date powder, vanilla extract, and ice cubes for the orange layer. Shake well to combine.
- Strain the orange mixture into a separate glass and set it aside. Rinse out the cocktail shaker again to prepare for the final layer.
- In the clean cocktail shaker, combine the 0-Gin, lime juice, date powder, and ice cubes for the red layer. Shake well to combine. Strain and add in some sparkling water. Set the red layer aside.
- To assemble the cocktail with different layers, start by pouring the charred chili layer into the glass.
- Slowly pour the orange layer over the back of a spoon onto the chili layer. This helps create the layered effect.
- Finally, pour the red layer over the back of a spoon onto the orange layer, creating the third and final layer.
- Garnish the cocktail with a lime slice and a charred chili pepper (optional).
- Serve immediately and enjoy your visually stunning Charred Chili and Orange Sunset Mocktail!
