Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz Full-Bodied Gin Like a Sipsmith or going with a Plymouth style Gin
  • 3 Strawberries Halved and leave 1 half for Garnish
  • 1 oz Lime Juice
  • 1/3 oz St Germain Elderflower Liqueur
  • 1/2 oz Green Tea Syrup *see below for details
  • 1.5 oz Soda

Instructions

  1. In a shaker, muddle your strawberries and add all your ingredients except Soda.

  2. Fill your shaker with ice and give this a good shake.

  3. Double strain over fresh ice into a Collins Glass.

  4. Top with Soda. Garnish with remaining Strawberry.

Recipe Notes

To make the Green Tea Syrup, combine 1 cup of boiled water, with 1 cup granulated sugar and one tea bag. Stir until sugar dissolves (you may do this on the stove if you prefer) and let the tea steep for 5 minutes before straining.

Don't want to make a tea syrup? That's okay, create Simple Syrup instead or use another herbal, delicate tea to compliment the flavours in this cocktail!
