Earl Grey Tea Shot

The distinctive flavour in Earl Grey tea comes from bergamot, a tropical citrus fruit that pairs beautifully with mango juice. Tabasco adds a bit of heat to this fragrant and fruity shooter.

Ingredients

Earl Grey infused vodka, or

Forest Earl Grey Gin

Mango juice

Tabasco

Garnish

Lemon wedge, charred (optional)

Tools

Bar spoon, pourer

Serve in a shot glass

❶ Fill a shot glass up to about 2/3 full with mango juice.

❷ Place your bar spoon upside down inside of your glass—near, but not touching the mango juice—and very slowly pour the Earl Grey vodka or gin over the spoon.

❸ Straight from its bottle, drip the Tabasco into the glass, about 3 drops, and watch them sit right in between the two layers!

❹ Garnish with a lemon wedge and serve.
