Roman Holiday Cocktail (A Jungle Bird Twist) Recipe

February 27, 2024

Don’t worry if you want to skip the alcohol — you can still enjoy this fun, flirty cocktail in zero-proof form. This drink can easily be adapted into a delicious mocktail: To keep the flavor profile similar without the gin, Amaro Averna, and Campari, simply increase the amounts of pineapple juice and coffee while adding a bit more lime juice for brightness. For the virgin Roman Holiday, you’ll need 1 ½ ounces of pineapple juice as the base. Pineapple provides the fruity, slightly tart flavor that would otherwise come from the Amaro Averna. Add 1 ounce of cold brew coffee, which will contribute richness and subtle bitterness in the absence of Campari. A half ounce of fresh lime juice perks everything up with acidity and citrus essence. Shake these three ingredients vigorously with ice to chill and dilute. Then, strain over a glass filled with crushed ice for a slushy texture. Garnish your non-alcoholic Roman Holiday with the same charred cinnamon stick and pineapple leaves. The flavors may be lighter, but it’s still a great, tropical treat.
