Ingredients: - 2 oz Gin (preferably a botanical variety for enhanced complexity) - 1 oz Green tea (cooled, strong brew) - 1/2 oz Fresh lemon juice - 1/2 oz Honey syrup (equal parts honey and water, heated until honey dissolves then cooled) - 4-5 Raspberries - 2 Basil leaves - 1/4 oz Ginger liqueur - Splash of soda water - Ice Garnish: - Fresh raspberry - Lemon twist - Basil leaf Glass: - Highball glass Instructions: 1. In a shaker, muddle the raspberries and basil leaves gently to release their flavors. 2. Add the gin, cooled green tea, lemon juice, honey syrup, and ginger liqueur to the muddled mixture. 3. Fill the shaker with ice, cover, and shake vigorously until well-chilled. 4. Double strain into a highball glass filled with ice, ensuring that the raspberry seeds and basil remnants are left behind. 5. Top with a splash of soda water for a light effervescence. 6. Garnish with a fresh raspberry, a twist of lemon peel, and a basil leaf for an aromatic allure. The Emerald Tempest is not just a drink but an experience, designed to invoke a journey through its complexity and depth, ensuring each sip brings a new layer of flavor to the forefront.
