Cocktail Base
Method
Preparation
Brew the Green Tea
Start by brewing a strong cup of green tea. Use 1 tablespoon of loose leaf green tea or 1 tea bag for every 8 oz of water. Steep for 3-5 minutes, then let it cool down.
Prepare the Cucumber
Wash the cucumber thoroughly. Slice it into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. Reserve 4 slices for garnish.
Mix the Cocktail
In a cocktail shaker, add the gin, Averna, cooled green tea, and lemon juice. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
Strain the Mixture
Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the cocktail mixture into a chilled glass, preferably a highball or a coupe glass.
Top with Prosecco
Gently pour the prosecco over the cocktail mixture in the glass. This will add a refreshing fizz to your drink.
