Description

What makes Mad Hatters Tea Party worth making is the way its flavours move across the glass. The danger with tropical drinks is that they can become all juice and no direction. Here, Gin, Earl Grey Tea and Peach Schnapps give the serve a clearer shape: fruit for generosity, acidity for snap and spirit for warmth.

The result should feel abundant and sunny, but still balanced enough that you want a second sip rather than a glass of syrup.
