Hey, guys. Matilde here. I am at TT Liquor – Mixology’s flagship venue in Shoreditch. Today, we’re going to show you how to make a nonalcoholic version of the TT Zombie, one of the favourites from the cocktail making classes. We have swapped out the rum in the recipe for Caleño’s Light and Zesty, which really complements the tropical flavours in this twist on a tiki classic. We hope you love it, the ingredients are in the description below. And here’s Kay to show us the recipe.

All right guys, it’s Kay back here at TT Liquor. Today I’m going to be showing you how to make a very special nonalcoholic version of our Melon Zombie. And the first thing I need is some alcohol free booze. And for this, we’ve chosen this really lovely Caleńo Light & Zesty tropical nonalcoholic spirit. It’s quite a big drink, so I’m going to be using 75ml or three shots of our Caleño, so here we go. There’s 50. And another 25.

So next thing going in here would usually be some Velvet Falernum which is a really nice Bajan liqueur, which is flavoured with almond. But as this is an alcohol free version, we’ve got some Orgeat almond syrup instead. And I’m going to add about 15ml of this.

And I want the juice of a whole lime in this drink. So I’ll grab myself a lime, just slice that in half ready to squeeze it. And I’ll take my elbow press here and just use that to squeeze the juice from both of those lime halves straight into my shaker.

Now I’m ready to fill this guy up with cubed ice and give it a nice hard shake. Just whack my tin on top. Big old smack to seal it. And we’ll shake this for about 10 to 15 seconds. Here we go.

Beautiful, all right. So we’ll crack that open. And we’re going to serve this drink with dirty ice, which means I’m going to use the ice from the shaker, so I don’t need to strain it or anything. I’m just going to pull the whole thing straight into this lovely hurricane glass. Then I’m going to just top that up with a little bit more ice as well. Just to bring it right up to the rim.

And then we’ve got one final ingredient to add to this, which is going to give it the really distinct melon flavour. And that is some of this melon syrup. Now, I want roughly about 20ml of this, but I’m not going to measure it. I’m just going to free pour it over the top. Right, so there we go.

I’ve got some matches here, and I’m going to take a couple of these matches just so that I’ve got a nice big flame. And I’m going to strike those all at once, there we go. Hold them over the drink here. Let that flame get a little bit bigger and we’ll just sprinkle some cinnamon over that flame. There we go.

And we’ll just finish that with a little stir just to get that melon syrup and that cinnamon mixed in with our drink. Beautiful. And that is our alcohol free Melon Zombie, ready to drink.
