Earl Grey MarTEAni
A fantastic and very English cocktail created by a New Yorker. The gin botanicals combine harmoniously with the flavours and tannins of the tea

Hello everyone! I made a similar drink working in London - behind the bar of course. I personally infuse a whole bottle of London Dry Gin (3 bags per litre) then 50ml in, 25ml lemon juice, 15 of rich syrup and I go heavy with the eggwhite (50ml). I called it Earl Grey Flip (even it has no egg yolk in there but sounded great to me!). Still in my drinklists since 2016, it’s been bestseller in Bistrotheque, London.

I followed the advice of Dave Arnold and tried making it with honey syrup since tea+lemon just begs for honey. It tastes great. Still to try with simple syrup.

A certain shop actually sells a tea blend named Lady Grey which I have in the house. Having a play tonight but at first go it seems a little more refined than standard Earl Grey. May reduce the sugar and lemon slightly to stop the tea getting swamped. Will report back later.

Is there a reason to go with breakfast tea instead of Earl Grey even though it's called Earl Grey MarTEAni?

Works with any black tea but, as you say, given the name of the cocktail, Earl Grey would be preferable. I've amended the recipe accordingly.

I found out about this on YouTube from Greg at How to Drink and had to make it. Easily one of the best things I’ve put in my mouth.

Haha same! As soon as I found out about this drink on HTD I thought I really needed to try this drink!
