Golden Hour

Golden Hour' is a light, alcohol-free cocktail with Mokum Dusk Cool Blend, an alcohol-free white vermouth, ginger ale and a touch of dill and cucumber. The recipe is a variation on the Negroni/Americano which is made with gin or sparkling water, sweet red vermouth and a bitter aperitif. We use a white, non-alcoholic vermouth and ginger ale for an elegant taste with a little bitterness, which goes well with dill. The cucumber ribbon is a beautiful garnish that accentuates the fresh notes of Mokum Dusk Cool Blend.
