Green Tea and Ginger Cocktail

Green tea balances well in a cocktail. It’s a nice soothing counterpoint to gin and goes well with the spiciness of ginger.

The result has the satisfying kick of a gin martini with some added layers of flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ oz gin
  • 1 oz ginger liqueur
  • ¾ oz green tea, brewed
  • Lots of ice
  • Lemon for garnish

Instructions

Brew 1 tea bag in 1 cup of water. Combine ¾ ounce of tea with gin, ginger liqueur, and ice in a cocktail shaker. Swirl the cocktail in the shaker until it is cold. Fill a martini glass with ice. Pour in the cocktail and garnish with a slice of lemon.
