Gin & Tea
Ingredients: 60 ml gin, 15 ml simple syrup, 15 ml lime juice, 120 ml Earl Grey tea spiced with cinnamon, clove, star anise.
Mixology: Add all ingredients, except the tea, in a wine glass. Stir well. Top up with the tea. Garnish with fresh mint.
Signature KTM
Ingredients: 60 ml Reposado, 30 ml triple sec, 30 ml lime juice, 4-5 blackberries.
Mixology: Take a tall glass with a heavy bottom. Muddle berries, and add the other ingredients. Fill the glass with crushed ice; mix well. Garnish with mint sprig and berries.
Green Fields
Ingredients: 45 ml gin, 30 ml jasmine-and-green-tea syrup, 30 ml star fruit juice, 10 ml lime juice, 1 egg white, jasmine flowers (for garnishing).
Mixology: Add 100 gms of jasmine flowers and four teaspoons of green tea leaves in one litre of sugar syrup. Infuse for 12 hours. Strain into a bottle or an airtight container and store in a cool dark place. Add all the ingredients into a shaker (if you don’t have a shaker, take any jar with a lid) and shake without ice first. Then, shake with ice and double strain into a glass over ice. Garnish with jasmine flowers or a slice of star fruit.
Pro Tip: Stay away from oversized options. While visually impressive, the beverage will warm up and the ice will melt before you finish. Stick to traditional glass sizes and go like a pro.
