Chill your glasses while the tea mixture chills. You can also shake the cocktail with ice before serving, but strain the ice before you pour. Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup water |
4 earl grey tea bags |
1 (1-ounce) package fresh mint (about 1 cup) |
1 1/4 cups bourbon |
1/3 cup fresh lime juice |
1 3/4 cups chilled sparkling wine |
mint sprigs (optional) |
Directions:
1. Combine sugar and 1/2 cup water in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave at high 3 minutes, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add tea bags and mint to sugar syrup; steep 20 minutes. Discard tea bags and mint. Stir in bourbon and juice; chill. Pour tea mixture into a pitcher; stir in sparkling wine. Garnish with mint sprigs, if desired; serve immediately. |
