Cocktail: The Tea Clipper

This was my first attempt at mixing a cocktail that used a spirit “alternative” (something deliberately created and marketed as a non-alcoholic alternative to a traditional spirit). This one featured The Spirit of Gin from Free Spirits. It was pretty decent.

• 2 1/2 oz Free Spirits Spirit of Gin
• 1 oz Earl Grey honey syrup
• 3-4 oz tonic

Mix the spirit of gin and honey syrup in a shaker with ice and pour into a Collins glass or mason jar over fresh ice. Top with the tonic and garnish with a twist of lemon.

The recipe was from Free Spirits.

The honey syrup was made with several tablespoons of honey added to 8oz of strong Earl Grey tea (I used the decaf Earl Grey from The Whistling Kettle).

Finally getting around to watching #Andor, so I figured an appropriate cocktail would be some Romulan Ale, right?

Tonight we're going to have a drink at three bars near our house that we've never been to. (I will get a no-ABV one at one stop because two #cocktails is the right number of drinks for me.)

So I guess it's a cocktail crawl? Sort of?

Another cocktail for another new moth I had this year. The moth was the Dark Seedhead Moth, Apodia martinii, so the drink is:

Apodia Martini

40ml gin
10ml Pedro Ximenez sherry
dash of black walnut bitters
twist of orange

This was a good one. Quite complex and sophisticated, almost chocolatey; the sweet sherry, walnut and orange combo is quite Christmassy.

Incidentally, the reason it doesn't have fresh orange peel as a garnish is that I got fed up with semi-peeled oranges drying up in the fridge, so I put some orange extract in a spritz bottle instead. It works fine.
