Ingredients:
MANGO TEA–INFUSED APPLE BRANDY
4 oz (113 g) mango-flavored black loose-leaf tea
1 (750-ml) bottle apple brandy
COCKTAIL
1 oz (30 ml) mango tea–infused Laird’s Apple Brandy
1 oz (30 ml) Palo Cortado sherry
¾ oz (22 ml) Pineapple Syrup
¾ oz (22 ml) fresh lime juice
1 bar spoon falernum
5 dashes of Angostura bitters
Fresh pineapple slice, for garnish
Orchid, for garnish
Method:
To make the mango tea–infused apple brandy, add the mango-flavored black tea—I used SerendipiTea Magnificent Mango—to the bottle of apple brandy. Let steep for 1 hour. Strain into a clean bottle or decanter.
To make one cocktail, in a cocktail shaker, combine the mango tea–infused apple brandy, sherry, pineapple syrup, lime juice and falernum and dry shake (without ice). Pour into a Collins glass over crushed ice and swizzle. Float the bitters by dashing on top, then top with more crushed ice. Garnish with the pineapple slice and orchid.
Mocktail (non-alcoholic): If you wish to have a delicious non-alcoholic version, please feel free to take the alcohol out and follow the same procedure.
Consume Miracle Berry: Just before digging in, chew 1 or more freeze-dried miracle berry (this can also be done during the preparation of ingredients). Ensure to remove pits to avoid a bitter taste.
Facts: The active ingredient miraculin from miracle berry will turn sour foods such as lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, non-fat yoghurt and other citrus food to taste sweet without adding sugar. We recommend two halves or 2 servings for maximum effectiveness. Make sure to follow instructions from the back of the packaging.
