Instructions

Dive into the mysterious, aromatic world of the Midnight Earl, a cocktail that evokes the elegance of a moonlit night and the warmth of a cozy, dimly-lit lounge. This innovative concoction blends the robust flavors of black tea with the smoothness of gin, creating a sophisticated drink that's perfect for sipping slowly and savoring each complex note. Infused with the subtle aromas of herbal and floral notes, this cocktail is an ode to the night owls and the contemplatives, offering a drink that's rich in flavor and character without leaning on the sweetness of fruits. Glass: Coupe Glass Ingredients: - 2 oz Gin (preferably a dry gin for its crispness and botanical notes) - 1 oz Strong Brewed Earl Grey Tea (cooled to room temperature) - 0.5 oz Simple Syrup (adjust to taste, depending on the desired sweetness) - 0.25 oz Fresh Lemon Juice (for a subtle tartness that complements the gin) - 2 Dashes of Orange Bitters (adding complexity and a slight edge to the drink) - 1 Sprig of Fresh Lavender or a twist of Lemon Peel (for garnish) Instructions: 1. Begin by brewing a strong cup of Earl Grey tea. Allow it to cool to room temperature before use. This can be prepared ahead of time and kept chilled until needed. 2. In a mixing glass filled with ice, combine the gin, cooled Earl Grey tea, simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, and orange bitters. Stir well for about 20-30 seconds or until the mixture is well-chilled. 3. Strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe glass, ensuring a smooth pour. 4. Garnish with a sprig of fresh lavender or a twist of lemon peel. The lavender adds a beautiful aroma that pairs wonderfully with the Earl Grey tea, while the lemon peel adds a zesty brightness to the cocktail. 5. Serve immediately and enjoy the layered complexity of the Midnight Earl, a drink that's sure to intrigue and delight with every sip. The Midnight Earl is not just a cocktail; it's an experience, inviting you to explore the depth of flavors that can only be discovered when the clock strikes midnight. Cheers to the night and the stories it holds.
