As the whole world is standing still and everybody is staying home during this pandemic, lots of people are looking for new recipes to try at home. With the warmer weather and fast approaching summer (at least for the northern hemisphere), it is the best time to spend the night drinking a refreshing Lavender Earl Grey Tea Cocktail. This drink has a mild and citrusy flavour and it is lightly sweetened. A great balance between bergamot, lavender and elderflower. This cocktail is super simple to make and takes almost no time at all. All you need is some very basic and optional ingredients.
Without further ado, Dan & Russ Co present to you our in-house Lavender Earl Grey Tea Cocktail recipe.
Ingredients
- 6 ounces Cold Dan & Russ's Lavender Earl Grey Tea
- 1 ounce Vodka
- 1 ounce Rum
- 1 ounce Elderflower Cordial. (1¼ ounces if you like it sweet). You can substitute it with a simple syrup
- ¼ ounce Fresh-squeezed Lemon Juice
- Few Lavender buds for garnish
Instructions
1) Brew Dan & Russ's Lavender Earl Grey Tea. Store the tea in the refrigerator to keep it cold.
2) Elderflower Cordial is a sweet, floral and refreshing non-alcoholic concentrated syrup. Yes, it is a rather a British flavour! This elderflower cordial could be found in some specialty food store, or even online. If you don't have it, no worries. You can make a simple syrup as a substitute. Heat half cup of sugar and half cup of water until it has dissolved and cooled in the fridge.
3) Mix all of the ingredients into a cocktail shaker, along with ice. Shake and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish the drink with a sprig of lavender buds.
4) Most importantly, enjoy!
