Dark, roasty stout meets warm gingerbread spice and a soft, foamy head. The Gingerbread Stout Flip is a non-alcoholic stout mocktail that drinks like dessert, with notes of coffee, dark chocolate and molasses in every sip.
It’s the drink for anyone who loves a pint by the fire but is skipping the alcohol this season. Three ingredients, two minutes and one very happy you.
Why You’ll Love This Non-Alcoholic Stout Mocktail
- Dessert-worthy flavor. Roasted stout and gingerbread spice taste like a cookie dunked in cocoa.
- Only 3 ingredients. Stout, mixer and zero-proof whiskey. That’s it.
- That foamy head. A slow pour gives you a creamy cap that looks bar-made.
- Perfect 4 oz pour. Rich enough that a small glass feels just right.
What You Need for the Gingerbread Stout Flip
Ingredients (makes one 4 oz pour)
- 1 oz Cut Above Zero Proof Whiskey
- 1 oz Wood Stove Kitchen Gingerbread Sparkle Mocktail Mixer
- 2 oz Athletic Brewing All Out Extra Dark
Garnish
- Dried apple slice
- A dusting of cinnamon (optional)
All Out Extra Dark is Athletic Brewing’s non-alcoholic dark brew, deep and velvety with coffee and dark chocolate notes. The Gingerbread Sparkle mixer adds ginger, molasses and a shimmer of edible glitter, and the zero-proof whiskey ties it together with a little warmth.
How to Make the Gingerbread Stout Flip
- Pour the zero-proof whiskey and Gingerbread Sparkle into a tulip glass or small snifter and stir.
- Tilt the glass and slowly pour the stout down the side. Straighten the glass at the end to build a soft, foamy head.
- Float a dried apple slice on top and finish with a light dusting of cinnamon.
Tip: chill the stout well. Cold stout holds its foam longer and keeps the drink crisp.
How to Serve a Stout Mocktail at a Party
Stout drinks are best poured to order, since the foam is half the fun. Set out a small station instead:
- Premix the whiskey and Gingerbread Sparkle in a small carafe (1 part each).
- Keep the cans of stout on ice.
- Pour 2 oz of the mix into each glass, then top with 2 oz of stout as guests arrive.
- Set out dried apple slices and a cinnamon shaker for garnishing.
