For best results make sure your gin and bubbly is well chilled beforehand
Steep two tea bags of Earl Grey tea in 250ml of hot water. Make this an hour or so before making your cocktails and store in a clean clear bottle in the fridge.
Prep your glass – chill the glass before starting the drink preparation or ad a cinnamon sugar rim for a winter twist.
Grab a shaker, jar or flask and add the gin, cordial and tea with lots of ice
Seal the shaker, jar or flask and shake vigorously for 10 seconds
Fill your glass with ice
Strain your gin and tea mix using a fine strainer into your prepared glass, give it a quick stir
Top up with the chilled Pierre Jourdan bubbly
Garnish with a cherry and mint sprig OR with a fresh lemon wedge and mint
TIP: and add cinnamon or star anise for a warm winter twist
