Method
- Fill a mixing glass with ice, then pour in the non-alcoholic bourbon alternative, a few dashes of Halal-certified aromatic bitters, and maple syrup.
- Stir the mixture along the edge of the glass in a smooth, circular motion for 25 to 30 rotations to chill and dilute.
- Place a large ice cube into a rocks glass.
- Strain the cocktail from the mixing glass into the rocks glass over the ice cube.
- Hold an orange peel over the drink, twist it to release the oils across the surface, then run the peel around the rim before dropping it into the glass. Add a few cherries if you like.

Notes
Use pure maple syrup for the best flavor, and avoid pancake syrup, which can be too sweet. You can make a batch of the base cocktail (without ice or garnish) ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to three days; always add the orange peel and fresh ice just before serving. Any brand of non-alcoholic bourbon with complexity and a hint of oak will work well. Feel free to add cherries as a garnish for extra sweetness, but keep the drink's balance in mind. The orange peel twist is essential for bright citrus aroma.
