Ingredients:

  • 1 tea bag (2g) green tea
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) boiling water
  • 1.5 oz (45ml) vodka
  • 1 oz (30ml) fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) honey syrup
  • 4 oz (120ml) chilled sparkling water
  • 1 lime wheel
  • 1 sprig of fresh mint

Instructions:

  1. Steep the green tea bag in boiling water for exactly 3 minutes, then remove the bag immediately and allow the concentrate to cool for 5 minutes.
  2. Combine the cooled tea concentrate, vodka, lime juice, and honey syrup in a cocktail shaker.
  3. Add a handful of ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for 10 seconds to emulsify the syrup and chill the mixture.
  4. Strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with fresh ice.
  5. Slowly pour the chilled sparkling water over the top and give it one gentle stir to merge layers without losing carbonation.
  6. Garnish with a lime wheel and a sprig of fresh mint.
