Minch Martini

"As tranquil as a rare still day on the Minch."

To Make Lemon Verbena Tea

Ingredients

10g Lemon Verbena Leaves

1L Filtered Water

Methodology

Steep the leaves into filtered water for five hours.

Strain the liquid into a bottle and store chilled.

Discard after four days.


To Make the Cocktail

Ingredients

25ml Isle of Harris Gin

50ml Lemon Verbena Tea

10ml Bergamot Liqueur

Garnish

Lemon Twist

Methodology

Pour all the ingredients into a mixing glass and cubed ice.

After mixing, pour into an Isle of Harris Martini Glass and garnish with a lemon twist.


Notes

This gentle, low ABV martini, made with a blend of tea, citrus liqueur and Isle of Harris Gin still packs a flavourful punch.

Where lemon verbena leaves are hard to find, a herbal green tea works too.
