Earl Grey Collins
Earl Grey and marmalade have been sharing a breakfast table for a long time. This elegant cocktail combines them with a good measure of gin. Luxe Grey brings the bergamot, the marmalade adds a sweet citrus edge, and a little lime keeps things fresh. It’s long, cold and not too sweet, with the tea doing most of the talking.
Ingredients
- 2 Luxe Grey tea temples (or 2 tablespoons loose leaf)
- 200ml boiling water
- 45ml gin
- 3 Tbsp marmalade
- 15ml lime juice
- Ice
- Lime slice, to garnish
Method
- Infuse the tea temples (or loose leaf) in the boiling water for 4 minutes. Remove the tea and leave the liquid to cool completely (at least two hours in the fridge).
- In a cocktail shaker, stir the marmalade and gin together until the marmalade loosens. Add the cooled tea, lime juice and a generous handful of ice. Shake hard for about 15 seconds.
- Strain into a tall glass filled with ice.
- Garnish with a slice of lime.
Mocktail version: leave out the gin and add 45ml more tea.
