Earl Grey Martini
Don’t be fooled that this delicious Martini is just for Mother’s Day, enjoy it anytime and serve in a chilled martini glass if you want.
We take ours ‘shaken not stirred’ if its good enough for James Bond then it is perfect for the mothers out there who do so much more than any 007.
We chose the Earl Grey tea as it really is a favourite of ours. We feel the oil from the bergamot orange rind that gives the tea its distinctive flavour pairs so well with the botanicals of the gin and vermouth.
So guys get shakin’ and have a great time!
