Cocktail Of The Month - Aladdin's Cave

This month, I've been playing around with a few herbal teas and found that they go great in cocktails! The floral notes of Jasmine Tea in particular lend well to the botanical qualities of gin, it's a delicate & refreshing combo! Try something a little bit different & give it a go!

You'll need:

• 30ml Gin (I used Tanqueray, but Hendricks would also work really well!)
• 15ml Grapefruit Liqueur
• 15ml St Germain (Elderflower Liqueur)
• 70ml Jasmine Tea (brewed earlier & left to cool)
• 1 Strawberry (sliced)
• 2 Star Anise
• A splash of sugar syrup
• 3 lemon wedges (squeezed)
• Ice

Garnish - Crushed ice, Strawberry Slice and Star Anise

Method:

1. Fill your glass with ice & add ingredients.
2. Stir with a bar spoon.
3. Garnish with crushed ice, strawberry & star anise.
