Transform your non-alcoholic drinking experience with this bold, smoky mocktail that rivals traditional mezcal cocktails. This sophisticated zero-proof drink combines Optimist Smoky Spirit with tart cherry juice, honey-ginger syrup, and hibiscus-infused soda for a complex, layered flavor profile.

This mocktail isn’t your typical “I guess I’ll just have water” moment. It’s a bold, agave-based creation that brings all the attitude of a classic tequila cocktail while keeping things light and refreshing. Think of it as tequila’s cooler cousin—one that doesn’t need liquid courage to dance on tables. Perfect for brunches, casual get-togethers, or simply unwinding after a long day, this drink pairs beautifully with vibrant Mexican dishes like grilled tacos or nachos.

This isn't some timid mocktail hiding in the corner – it's what happens when you let botanicals break bad. The maple syrup doesn't just sweeten, it conspires with tonic water to create layers that'll make you question everything you thought you knew about non-alcoholic drinks.
