Cocktail #021- Cherry Zip

Many mocktails are missing the body and viscosity that alcoholic spirits contribute, but the Cherry Zip rectifies this issue with the orgeat providing the viscosity and the chilled black tea providing some tannin. The red pepper flakes add a touch of heat to cut the sweet in this otherwise full-bodied nonalcoholic cocktail.
