Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Brew the Earl Grey Tea

    Start by boiling water. Once boiling, steep the Earl Grey tea bags in 1 cup of hot water for about 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and let the tea cool.

  2. 2

    Mix the Base Ingredients

    In a large mixing glass or pitcher, combine 2 cups of mead, 1 cup of Laphroaig Scotch whisky, 0.5 cup of Four Roses bourbon, and 0.25 cup of Cappelletti. Stir gently to blend the flavors.

  3. 3

    Add the Lime Juice

    Add 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice to the mixture and stir well. This will add a refreshing citrus note to the drink.

  4. 4

    Incorporate the Tea

    Once the Earl Grey tea has cooled, slowly pour it into the mixture, stirring continuously. Ensure that all ingredients are well combined.

  5. 5

    Serve the Drink

    Fill glasses with ice and pour the mixture over the ice. Garnish each glass with a lime wedge for an added touch of flavor.
