Tea Cappuccino

Your cocktail recipe.

  • 1.5oz gin
  • 1oz fresh berries juice (black, red, strawberries, raspberries)
  • 1oz vanilla tea.
  • 0.25oz lime juice.
  • Milk foam.
  • Cinammon

Juice the berries to collect 1 oz of pure juice.

Brew the vanilla tea for 4 minutes.

Warm up the gin and berries juice. In a heatproof glass, pour first gin and berries juice. Then, add the vanilla tea and lime juice.

Top the drink with milk foam and sparkle of cinammon.

Your inspiration.

It`s quite rare to see a warm tea cocktail, my mom was sick, had a cold and i decided to take care of her by making her a tea cocktail, fresh and original, without alcohol the first time. She loves it so much that i decided to make it behind my bar one day and adding gin to it.

My guest loved it during Christmas time and the cold January time.

Lessons Learned

  • Use very fresh berries, squeeze them gently.
  • Use a regular black vanilla flavored tea.
  • Do not warm up the gin and the berries juice too much, you don`t want to burn it.
  • You can either use fresh whipped cream or fresh milk foam to top the drink up
