The “G&Tea” Cocktail

In collaboration with Maison Mirabeau, we’re delighted to present this fun cocktail recipe that features two of England’s most-loved beverages … gin and tea! To celebrate Tea Day on the 21st of April, we hope you enjoy this hommage to the classic G&T!

Ingredients

30ml Mirabeau Dry Gin
15ml Lorgues Coffee Roasters Lady Grey Tea
25ml Honey syrup
A squeeze of lemon juice
1 egg white (optional)

Method

Prepare the honey syrup: in a saucepan, boil 200g water with 200g honey for a couple of minutes. Leave to cool and keep in the fridge.
Brew a small cup of Lorgues Coffee Roaster Lady Grey Tea and leave to cool.
In a shaker filled with ice, shake all the ingredients vigorously. If you add egg white, shake for at least 30sec until very foamy.
Strain into a coupe, and decorate with a sprig of lavender.

Happy National Tea Day!

“In Britain, a cup of tea is the answer to every problem.
Fallen off your bicycle? Nice cup of tea.
Your house has been destroyed by a meteorite? Nice cup of tea and a biscuit.
Your entire family has been eaten by a Tyrannosaurus Rex that has travelled through a space/time portal? Nice cup of tea and a piece of cake. Possibly a savoury option would be welcome here too, for example a Scotch egg or a sausage roll.”
