duke of suffolk
by @giuseppe_gonzalez
Drink more hot cocktails.
Created by Giuseppe Gonzalez back when he still caused mayhem in the streets of NYC, this is a riff on the classic Irish Coffee swapping out the whiskey for gin (honestly, it’s great with mezcal, too), and exchanging coffee for a blend of teas.
Two distinct choices I made:
(1) I whipped up a vanilla cream to be the topper for some extra umph, and (2) I went with a pretty sick gin that was a collaboration between @thirstywhale_ and @barrhillgin which was rested in stout and orange curaçao casks.
Banger.
Ingredients
1.5 oz (45ml) gin or mezcal
0.5 oz (22.5ml) 1:1 simple syrup
4 oz (90ml) hot tea, strong brewed (50/50 blend of Earl Grey and English Breakfast)
Heavy cream, lightly whipped
Cocktail Directions
Temper a cocktail glass with hot water. Then add syrup, gin, and tea. Gently whip heavy cream and float on top.
