01

Step

Infuse the Gin: In a small glass, gently combine the Earl Grey tea leaves with the gin. Allow this mixture to steep, covered, for at least 2 hours to allow the tea to fully infuse its flavor into the gin. (Time: 2 hours)

02

Step

Prepare the Glasses: While the gin is steeping, prepare your martini glasses. Spread a thin, even layer of white sugar onto a small, shallow plate. Moisten the rim of each martini glass with the lemon wedge. Gently dip the moistened rims into the sugar, ensuring an even coating. Set the prepared glasses aside. (Time: 5 minutes)

03

Step

Combine and Chill: Once the gin has steeped, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the tea leaves. In a cocktail shaker, combine the infused gin, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup. Add a generous handful of ice cubes to the shaker. (Time: 5 minutes)

04

Step

Shake Vigorously: Secure the lid on the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds, or until the outside of the shaker is well-chilled and frosted. This ensures the cocktail is properly mixed and adequately chilled. (Time: 1 minute)

05

Step

Strain and Serve: Strain the chilled cocktail into the prepared martini glasses, ensuring no ice chips make their way into the final drink. Garnish with a fresh lemon twist or a few additional Earl Grey tea leaves, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the sophisticated flavors of your Earl Grey Martini. (Time: 2 minutes)

For a stronger tea flavor, increase the steeping time to 3-4 hours.
Adjust the amount of simple syrup to your liking, depending on your preferred level of sweetness.
Use a high-quality gin to enhance the overall flavor of the martini.
Chilling your martini glasses beforehand will keep your cocktail colder for longer.

    Easy to follow recipe, and the results were amazing. Will definitely make this again.

  • Cedrick Wuckert

    I found the martini a little too sweet, so I reduced the simple syrup to 1.5 ounces. It was perfect after that!

  • Judd Lang

    The sugar rim adds a nice touch of sweetness that balances the tartness of the lemon juice. Great recipe!

  • Dorothy Mills

    This recipe is fantastic! The Earl Grey flavor is subtle but definitely present. I used a London Dry gin and it was perfect.

    Steeping the gin longer really brought out the Earl Grey, love this!

    I tried it with different gins, and my favorite was a citrus forward gin.
