Beautifully Chill Berry G&T
Streamline prep time and make the Berry Simple Syrup ahead so it has time to chill before mixing cocktails.
Ingredients
Makes: 1 serving
- Berry Simple Syrup
- 2 C (500 ml) frozen or fresh berries
- 1/3 C (80 ml) granulated sugar
- 1 C (250 ml) Sleeping Beauty Herbal Tea Blend, steeped
- 1 tsp (5 ml) lemon juice
- G&T Cocktail
- 1 Tbsp (30 ml) Berry Simple Syrup
- 1/4 C (60 ml) or 2 oz. gin
- Tonic water, to taste
- Extra berries, for garnish (optional)
Preparation
- For syrup: in small saucepan, combine berries, sugar, tea, and lemon. Bring to a boil, stirring often; reduce heat and simmer until berries break apart, about 5 min. Press through a fine mesh sieve; discard solids. Cool syrup before using, about 30 minutes. (Make ahead: refrigerate up to 1 week.)
- For each cocktail, fill glass with ice cubes. Mix together 1 Tbsp (15 ml) Berry Simple Syrup with gin; pour over ice and top with tonic. Garnish with berry skewers, if desired.
Tip
Cool tip: Make mixed berry fruit cubes using the (p.1008090). Make it a mocktail and replace gin with more chilled tea; swap tonic for soda water.
