Butter-Washed Blackberry Tea
A take on the classic Blueberry Tea cocktail. Disaronno Originale Amaretto, Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge and Marquis De Villard VSOP Brandy come together. The use of the fat-washing technique gives this cocktail a richer texture and a silky mouthfeel. A must try!Ingredients
Serves 1
granulated sugar, to rim glass
1 English breakfast tea bag
2 blackberries
2 oz (60 ml) Butter-Wash Blend*
1 orange slice, to garnish
Instructions
- Heat a snifter glass with hot water and rim with sugar. Steep a cup of English breakfast tea with 2 blackberries. Add Butter-Wash Blend to snifter glass and top with steeped hot tea. Garnish with orange slice.
- *To make Butter-Wash Blend, melt ⅔ cup (160 ml) unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add peels from 2 large oranges and sauté lightly to extract oils. Slowly add 1 cup (250 ml) each Disaronno Originale Amaretto, Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge and Marquis De Villard VSOP Brandy and mix thoroughly. Remove from heat and transfer to a heat-safe container. Allow to stew at least 2 hours. Once cooled to room temperature, place in freezer to allow solids to harden, then strain through a coffee filter until desired clarity is reached. Will keep in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Makes enough for about 12 cocktails.
