Time for Tea & Gin
an alternative to G&T
G&T is wonderful; but tea with gin can be a delicious new alternative. Tea has recently been experiencing a renaissance. Tea is now seen as exciting, interesting, and delicious. Combine an interesting tea with what is arguably one of the most distinctive gins – Brockmans Gin – and you have a cocktail that is an elegant, intriguing, evening cocktail.
Tea connoisseurs have gone so far as to point out that it is the drink for those who want to experience ‘sensuousness and well-being’. Brockmans Gin has incorporated tea into a very different cocktail that is elegant and showcases the surprising botanicals and berry notes in this extraordinary gin.
The Smoke on the Water cocktail is a smoky, tantalising infusion of a cocktail using sage and rosemary and
the intriguing, smoky taste of Lapsang Souchong tea. This is certainly a ‘G and Tea’ recipe with a difference.
Lapsang tea leaves take on their distinctive taste and smell by being smoke-dried over pinewood fires. Considered a delicacy now, Lapsang Souchong was the first black tea in history.
Brockmans Gin combines 11 botanicals giving this gin brand, now 10 years old, its distinctive aroma and taste profile. It brims with berries and botanicals sourced from across the world: juniper from Italy; lemon peel from Murcia in Spain; bitter-sweet orange peel from Valencia; Bulgarian coriander seed, providing a slightly spicy sage note which is picked up elsewhere in this cocktail; cassia bark from Indo-China; blueberries and blackberries from Northern Europe; liquorice from China, providing a sweet woody aroma; angelica from Belgium and Saxony, bitter almonds, from Spain; and Italian orris root.
