Tio Pepe 0.0% Sherry Mocktail Recipe

I like this recipe because it’s refreshing without being overly sweet, and I can use tools and ingredients I already have at home. The steps are straightforward, and the finished drink looks polished enough for guests.

Equipment

I don’t really need fancy bar gear for this mocktail, but the right tools do help everything come together. A few basics make mixing quick and keep things looking neat.

• Cocktail shaker – mixes and chills the drink evenly
• Strainer – keeps ice or pulp out of the glass
• Jigger or measuring cup – helps with accuracy
• Bar spoon – for stirring if you’re not shaking
• Citrus juicer – gets fresh juice, no seeds
• Highball or stemmed glass – for serving
• Ice cubes – chills and dilutes for balance

Ingredients

I keep the ingredients simple so the flavors stay clear and balanced. The non-alcoholic sherry leads, with citrus and a touch of sweetness to round it out.

• 100 ml Tio Pepe 0.0% Sherry
• 25 ml fresh lemon juice
• 15 ml simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water)
• 50 ml soda water
• Ice cubes
• Lemon wheel or peel twist for garnish
• Fresh mint sprig (optional, for aroma)

Each ingredient plays its part. The sherry brings a dry, nutty edge, the lemon brightens things up, and the syrup smooths out the acidity. Soda water lightens it all, and the garnish just makes it look (and smell) fresh.

Instructions

I stick to a few easy steps to make sure the flavors really blend and the drink stays crisp. Chilling the base before adding soda helps keep the fizz.

• Fill the shaker with ice.
• Add Tio Pepe 0.0% Sherry, lemon juice, and simple syrup.
• Shake for about 10 seconds until everything’s cold.
• Strain into a glass filled with fresh ice.
• Top with soda water.
• Stir gently with a bar spoon to mix.
• Garnish with a lemon wheel or mint sprig.

I never shake the soda water—otherwise, it just goes flat. Stirring after topping keeps the drink lively.

Notes

I usually tweak the sweetness depending on who’s having it. A little less syrup makes it tart, a bit more softens everything out.

If I run out of soda water, I’ll sometimes use tonic for a slightly bitter finish. Sparkling mineral water also works if I’m in the mood for something lighter.

Serving this in a chilled glass keeps it colder for longer. I’ve also noticed that clear ice cubes look better and melt more slowly, which is a nice bonus.

Tasting Notes

That first sip? Honestly, it felt crisp and light—almost surprisingly so. The flavor took me straight to dry sherry, minus any of that boozy kick.

It finished clean, which made going back for more way too easy.

Right away, the aroma hit me. I caught these subtle green apple vibes and just a whisper of citrus.

It smelled fresh, but thankfully didn’t come off too strong. I actually really liked that.

Tasting it, I noticed a gentle fruitiness balanced with a kind of nutty edge. The flavors mingled in a way that kept things interesting without weighing it down.

I paid close attention to the texture, too. The drink felt smooth and refreshing, with enough body so it never seemed flat.

As for the aftertaste, it lingered softly. That dry, crisp finish? It definitely tempted me to take another sip.
