Method:

Prepare Your Glass: Start by filling a highball or cocktail glass generously with ice cubes. The ice chills the drink and ensures every sip is refreshingly cool.
-
Mix the Base: In your glass, pour gin, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup. The lemon juice adds a zesty tang while the simple syrup balances the flavours with subtle sweetness.
-
Add the Star Ingredient: Measure Yuzu & Lime Butterfly Pea Real Iced Tea and pour it into the glass. Watch as the vibrant blue hue begins to swirl, creating a visually stunning base for your cocktail.
-
Top With Tonic: Slowly add tonic water, allowing it to mix gently with the tea and gin. The tonic adds effervescence, giving the drink a light, sparkling finish.
-
Garnish With Flair: Finish your cocktail with a sprig of rosemary and a sliced dried fig. The rosemary adds an aromatic, herbal note, while the fig adds visual interest and a hint of sweetness.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Serve with a straw and remind your guests to stir well before drinking. This ensures the flavours are perfectly balanced and the yuzu, lemon, and butterfly pea tea harmonise beautifully with the gin and tonic.
