Phantom Orchard

AI-generatedChallengingCoupe

A silky, fog-like sour where gin's botanicals and tea's tannins wrap around lime like ivy climbing a garden wall at dusk.


Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 oz gin
  • 1/2 oz white rum
  • 3/4 oz lime juice
  • 1 oz cold tea
  • 3/4 oz baileys
  • 1 dash angostura bitters

Method

  1. 11. Chill a coupe glass by filling it with ice water and setting aside.
  2. 22. Combine gin, white rum, lime juice, cold tea, and angostura bitters in a shaker with ice.
  3. 33. Shake hard for 15 seconds until the shaker is frostbitten.
  4. 44. Discard the ice water from the coupe and double-strain the mixture into the glass.
  5. 55. Slowly float the Baileys over the back of a spoon so it rests as a cloud on the surface.
  6. 66. Serve immediately without stirring to preserve the layered effect.

PRO TIP

Use a strongly brewed black tea cooled to fridge temperature — the tannins act as a backbone that keeps the Baileys float from curdling when it meets the citrus.

Garnish — lime wheel rested on the Baileys float
