Inspired by French ingredients and influenced by Vietnamese flavors, this mocktail is an unexpected but delightful sip. From the woody, nuttiness of chicory coffee to the gentle, floral elderflower syrup and citrus notes of lemongrass and fresh lemon juice, this cocktail really is the best of “deux mondes – two worlds.”

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

  • 1 Bring water and lemongrass to boil in small saucepan on medium-high heat. Boil 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add coffee. Allow to steep 5 minutes.
  • 2 Strain mixture through fine mesh sieve lined with a coffee filter into large cocktail shaker. Fill with ice. Add elderflower syrup, lemon juice, sweetened condensed milk and extract. Shake vigorously 1 minute.
  • 3 Strain mixture into 2 chilled coupe glasses. Garnish each with twist of lemon.

    Test Kitchen Tips:
    • For a boozy take on this classic coffee mocktail, substitute 1/2 cup elderflower liqueur for the elderflower syrup and mix in 1/4 cup (2 ounces) cachaça.
    • Elderflower syrup is made with sugar, water and fresh elder flowers but typically can be purchased at specialty beverage stores or Amazon.
