Hi everyone! I'm new to the space so thought I'd share an original of mine. The challenge was to create a menu around the theme of "Gin & Tea" which I found quite tricky, and this was actually one of the first cocktails I made for the rooftop bar. Being a bit rebellious and a matcha & mezcal lover, I tried to bend the rules as much as I could... Matcha-Tini: - Gin (Bombay-type) - 25mL - Mezcal - 15mL - Triple sec - 25mL - Matcha & Basil syrup - 35mL - Lemon juice - 15mL - Orange juice - 15mL - Vegan foamer/egg white Coupe/double shake/fine strain and garnish with a violette or rose flower I never managed to get it perfect and I had limited creative freedom at the time (it was an amateur bar), but was proud to concoct something decent with matcha 😃 Let me know what you think! Greg
@Darryl Madrigal These combinations sound amazing! And I love how gin & tea can work both in summer and winter menus alike. I might need to try making a thai tea syrup myself 😃
