National Tea Day – Thursday 21 April 2022.<\/h3>\n

It’s National Tea Day on 21 April providing the perfect excuse to mingle a favourite tipple – gin – with the nation’s favourite cuppa*. This Rock\"rock Rose G & Tea cocktail is, well, just our cup of tea.<\/p>\n

The bergamot notes in this fine, fragrant black tea pair well with the botanicals in Rock Rose Gin and are enhanced in this cocktail recipe with the addition of just a little extra bergamot.<\/p>\n

This 41.5%ABV gin from the very north coast of Scotland offers up a delicate aroma of rose from the locally foraged rose of the rock, mixed cardamom and a touch of citrus. When you taste it, berry notes merge with the slightly floral nose to give a full-bodied, rounded gin, with the zing of juniper coming through followed by the sharpness of the sea buckthorn and a long, sherbet lemon finish.<\/p>\n

Ingredients for a Rock Rose G & Tea<\/h4>\n

50ml Rock Rose Gin
\n50ml Chilled Earl Grey tea
\n25ml Sugar syrup
\n25ml Lemon juice
\nA few drops of bergamot bitters (optional)<\/p>\n

Garnish: lemon or bergamot peel<\/p>\n

Method<\/h4>\n

Half fill a cocktail shaker and add all the ingredients. Shake well and then strain into a rocks glass with a large ice ball. Garnish with a twist of lemon or, in winter, a twist of bergamot.<\/p>\n

Price for the Rock Rose Gin: \u00a335 for a ceramic bottle or \u00a332 for a sustainable refill pouch which you simply return for recycling when empty by putting in the post-box with no stamp or envelope needed.<\/p>\n
