One of the challenges of making zero-proof cocktails is that most of the nonalcoholic ingredients you have to work with are sweet. In this nonalcoholic riff on the whiskey sour, black tea takes the place of whiskey and provides a dry but flavorful base for the drink. Do make your own grenadine for this — it’s so much more delicious than the artificially flavored stuff!
