Green Tea Gimlet

By SippitySup

This classic tart gimlet is given a little twist from crisp, refreshing green tea.

Ingredients

• 2 green tea bags
• 1 1/2 cups Tanqueray London Dry Gin, at room temperature
• 3/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
• 2 or 3 fluid ounces citrus syrup made with lemon, to taste
• 6 lime wedges, as garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Pour gin into a 3-cup or larger pitcher. Add the green tea bags and allow it to infuse at room temperature at least an 1 hour.

When ready to serve remove tea bags and add lime juice and citrus syrup; stir until well combined.

Add about 3 1/4 ounces to a cocktail shaker 2/3rds filled with ice. Cover and shake vigorously; strain into an ice filled old-fashioned glass. Squeeze the lime wedge over the drink and drop it in. Repeat to make 6 cocktails total.
