1
Infuse the Bourbon
Boil 1 cup of water and steep the Earl Grey tea bag for about 5 minutes. Remove the tea bag and let the tea cool to room temperature. Once cooled, mix the infused Earl Grey tea with 2 oz of bourbon in a cocktail shaker.

2
Prepare the Lemonade
In a separate container, mix 1 oz of fresh lemon juice and 1 oz of local honey until well combined. Add 3 oz of cold water and stir until the honey is fully dissolved.

3
Combine Ingredients
In the cocktail shaker containing the bourbon and Earl Grey mixture, fill the shaker with ice. Shake well for about 15 seconds. Strain the mixture into a chilled glass.
4
Add Lemonade
Pour the prepared lemonade over the strained bourbon mixture in the glass.
5
Garnish the Drink
Add 2 dashes of bitters on top, garnish with a strip of orange peel, and float 3 fresh apple mint leaves on the surface.
