Citrus Champagne Cocktail
This cocktail requires its own infused gin. When you make it, remember to keep track of the time: Tannins in the tea will make the infusion bitter if left to steep too long.
Ingredients
- 2 oz (60 ml) tea and citrus gin
- 2 oz (60 ml) orange juice
- 1 oz (30 ml) cane syrup
- 1 oz (30 ml) lemon juice
- 12 cubes orange gelée
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) cold Champagne or sparkling wine
- Crushed ice, as desired
Instructions
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the gin, orange juice, cane syrup, lemon juice and ice. Shake vigorously. Pour the mixture and some ice into two wine glasses.
- Stir 4 cubes of orange gelée into each glass. Top up with the Champagne. Garnish with the remaining orange gelée cubes threaded onto a toothpick, if desired.
