Method
Prepare Tea
Brew and cool peppermint tea
Brew a strong peppermint tea (about 1 peppermint tea bag in 4 fl oz boiling water) and steep 3–5 minutes. Remove the tea bag and cool to room temperature (or chill briefly in the refrigerator) before using 1 fl oz for the cocktail.
Mix Cocktail
Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker filled halfway with ice, add 3 fl oz cranberry juice, 1 fl oz cooled peppermint tea, 1 fl oz fresh orange juice, 0.5 fl oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 fl oz orgeat syrup. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add 0.25 fl oz simple syrup.
Shake
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted.
Strain
Double-strain (or regular strain if you don’t have a fine strainer) into a chilled coupe or martini glass filled with large ice cubes, or strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice if you prefer it on the rocks.
Garnish & Serve
Garnish with a lime wheel or twist and optionally float 2–3 fresh cranberries on top for color. Serve immediately.
