For our November/December 2022 issue, Kayleigh Blome, who leads the spirit-free cocktail program at Seattle’s Stampede Cocktail Club, offered their five picks for making NA cocktails. But for those who want further guidance on what to do with a zero-proof spirit, Blome shared this recipe using Wilderton Lustre, a citrusy and herbaceous NA spirit.
“When I tried Wilderton Lustre I was thrilled to have something that inspires me as much as a traditional spirit would,” they said. “It achieves its invocation of daytime through aromatic qualities of orris root, Ceylon Black Tea, tarragon, citrus, and florals.”
In this Persephone Sunset recipe, Blome uses the sherry vinegar’s dried fruit and nut flavors to bridge the Lustre with the lemon’s brightness.
