I made this with some Smoky Earl Grey tea I had from Fortnum & Masons (I know!) and it was so good. I added some lemon juice as personally I think it needs it go help the Earl Grey flavour. The smoke really blends well with the gin and Earl Grey.
I must be one of about seven people who don’t like this film (I really don’t!) but I do like this cocktail. I used a homemade Cherry Gin I made which worked well but and it does have the ‘slight’ carrot taste. Great cocktail, just a shame about the film.
