What is your favorite recipe for tea cocktails?

thanks for all the comments…
this weekend’s picnic was quite tealicious with a kick of the brew to add to the fun

Our staff tried making a greenTini by adding a shot of our favorite artisinal loose leaf tea geisha beauty to vodka. Even if you don’t infuse it you can get that tea flavor by making a strong shot of tea out of nice leaves!

O! Greentini sounds fun! And by the way I absolutely love the teas at Sanctuary T! It is one of my local favorites.

Nevermore posted a recipe for Earl Grey liqueur that seems to fit in both areas. Here’s the link so that we’ll be about to find it either place.

Peach flavored brandy 70 proof with peach iced tea has a wonderful flavor. Use lots of ice too.

I came across a couple tea-based cocktail recipes this week (without even trying to, i swear!) and decided to resurrect this thread to share them.

Bourbon Tea Punch with Citrus Ice Cubes:

Smoky Iced Tea and Whiskey Cooler:

I’ll admit the combo of Lapsang Souchong and Whiskey is intriguing to me, even though I don’t love either of them separately. Maybe they would be great together?

I don’t drink – still underage, haha – but Tea Forté has a whole line of teas-for-cocktails:
