I was thinking of how I could combine three beautiful elements, the Martini, Tea and a Gin, Tonic into one drink. So I stirred up some Gin and Dry Vermouth with an earl Grey syrup (recipe below) and topped it with a regular Indian Tonic. It might’ve been my first, but will definitely won’t be my last!
The Recipe
Serving: 1
Ingredients
50ml Gin
10ml Dry Vermouth
10ml Earl Grey Tea Syrup**
Tonic
How to make or shake it
Add first three ingredients to a glass with plenty of ice and stir
Add a bit more ice and top with both Tonic
Garnish with lemon wedge and (possibly) some cranberries
** Boil water and make Earl Grey Tea. When the tea is ready, get rid of the tea bag/leaves. Add an equal part sugar and leave it to simmer until all sugar has dissolved, gently stirring during the process. When all sugar is dissolved, leave to simmer for just a couple of minutes. Pour in a bottle and leave to cool and once ready, optionally add a bar spoon of vodka to preserve. Shake and put it in the fridge. It will last several weeks.
