Barware

This is all the tools you will need to create your cocktail, if you don't have any of these don't worry we will provide you alternatives.

  • Jigger: If you want to be precise when making your drink and do not have the jigger a measuring spoon can work great and for larger volume a measuring cup can do the work.
  • Cocktail Shaker: An alternative for this is quite easy, basically any jar or bottle with a lid will work just fine.
  • Cocktail Strainer: A tea strainer would work great or any type of strainer but the finer the mesh the better.

  • 0.75 ounces gin
  • 0.75 ounces Earl Grey-infused simple syrup
  • 0.5 ounces fresh-squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 egg white
  • 2-3 ounces Champagne or prosecco
  • Earl Grey tea leaves, finely chopped, to garnish
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 Earl Grey tea bags

Preparation

Step One.

First, we will start with the Earl Grey syrup. Boil equal parts sugar and water in a medium saucepan until the sugar fully dissolves. Remove from heat and steep the tea bags for 5-6 minutes and allow it to cool.

Step Two.

Combine gin, Earl Grey-infused simple syrup, fresh lemon juice and an egg white in a cocktail tin.

Step Three.

Start with a dry shake: shake the concoction vigorously without ice to emulsify the egg white. This’ll help give the egg a nice, whipped texture. Then, do a wet shake: add some ice and shake again to help chill the drink.

Step Four.

Double strain into a coupe and top, very slowly, with Champagne or prosecco – about two or three ounces.

Step Five.

Lastly, add a dusting of finely chopped Earl Grey tea leaves to garnish
