Its hardly a cocktail, but why not try doing some funky iced teas using different blends of tea? Things like keemun or lapsang can make for some interesting flavours and by mixing them with different fruit juices – limes, peaches, mango etc – it mixes the style up a bit too.
Smoky iced tea – infuse three heaped teaspoons of ceylon, one of keemun and half of lapsang soochon in hot water. Squeeze the juice of one lime and half a pink grapefruit. Into shaker add good dash of gomme syrup, a few drops of bitters and squeezed juices. Fill with ice and pour over infused tea. Shake well and strain into glass filled with ice.
