Tea & Teeling

Posted by System Administrator Friday 17th October 2014 0 Comment(s) Cocktails,

This is a riff on the classic cocktail called the Cameron's Kick which is a mix of Irish Whiskey, Scotch Whiskey, lemon juice and orgeat
 

This was a popular drink during the 1930s in both the UK & France. This is a simple twist by adding the very aromatic masala chai tea infusion, chocolate liqueur, sherry and bitters. It's a great representation of the Teeling Small Batch - the malt shines wonderfully as does the subtle aromatic rum notes.
 
Ingredients:
  • 1.5oz masala chai tea infused Small Batch Cocktail
  • 0.5oz Creme de Cacao blanc (white cocktail liqueur)
  • 75oz oloroso sherry
  • 1oz fresh lemon juice
  • 0.5oz orgeat syrup
  • 3 dashes Dr.Adams Teapot Bitters
Method: To a shaker add ice and shake vigorously. Strain into a pre-chilled cocktail glass.
 
Glassware: Tumbler, or traditional glass mug for added effect
 
Garnish: Freshly grated nutmeg and orange slice
 
For the Infusion:
  • 2oz loose Masala Chai tea
  • 750mls Small Batch
 
Macerate for 20 minutes
 
Strain through a chinois and infusion is ready
