🍐 Whiskey & Pear Sour
A rich, velvety non-alcoholic cocktail with bright citrus and fall fruit
The New Old Fashioned
This one’s a conversation starter. A non-alcoholic twist on a classic whiskey sour, this drink swaps in pear jam (or juice) for seasonal sweetness, egg white for that signature velvety foam, and your favourite NA whiskey for depth and warmth—minus the booze.
It’s perfectly balanced: sweet, tart, foamy, and smooth. Think fireside sipping, dinner party-worthy, or a low-key treat when you’re craving something complex and comforting.
