Earl Grey MarTEAni
Ingredients
- 2 oz Tanqueray London Dry Gin tea infused
- 3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
- 1⁄2 oz Sugar syrup 'rich'
- 1⁄2 oz Egg white (pasteurised) or 3 dashes Fee Brothers Fee Foam cocktail foamer
Method
Glassware:
Serve in a Martini glass
Prepare:
- Select and pre-chill a MARTINI GLASS.
- Prepare garnish of lemon zest twist.
Method:
- INFUSE gin with black tea (preferably Earl Grey). Rather than infuse a whole bottle, you can instead pour just 120ml (4oz) dry gin (enough for two cocktails) into a small glass with one Earl Grey tea bag for 5 minutes at room temperature to achieve the desired flavour extraction. (Any longer and tannins can be overly dominant.)
- SHAKE all ingredients with ice and strain back into shaker.
- DRY SHAKE (without ice) to emulsify.
- FINE STRAIN into chilled glass.
Garnish:
- EXPRESS lemon zest twist over the cocktail and use as garnish.

History:
Adapted from a recipe created in 2000 by Audrey Saunders at Bemelmans Bar at the Carlyle, New York City.
Review:
A fantastic and very English cocktail created by a New Yorker. The gin botanicals combine harmoniously with the flavours and tannins of the tea.
