The second Saturday in June is World Gin Day, a holiday I was woefully misguided by a different website into believing was June 11th. So my apologies for this post being a day late, but really, when isn't a good time to celebrate gin? Gin is my go-to liquor of choice, no matter what season we are in or how old I get. When I go to a bar that specializes in gin cocktails, I am in heaven. I love that gin is sweet, bitter, and aromatic all at the same time. It's only natural to pair gin with tea, since gin is already scented with herbs and spices. I've chosen two herbal teas to highlight today's gin concoction, Golden Chrysanthemum and Olive Leaves, from Harney and Sons. The chrysanthemums give the drink a surprisingly rich and spicy undertone that is nonetheless identifiably floral. The olive leaves are vegetal and grassy, with a subtle heaviness reminiscent of olive oil. Combined with a gin thats been distilled with limes and lime leaves, this cocktail is smooth, fragrant, and fantastically drinkable. World Gin Cocktail BCTH Style 1 heaping tablespoon golden chrysanthemum flowers 1 heaping tablespoon olive leaves 2 cups water 1/4 teaspoon sugar 2 oz gin, I recommend Russell Henry Malaysian Lime Ice Place chrysanthemum leaves in heat proof measuring cup or pitcher. Place olive leaves in second heat proof measuring cup or pitcher. Add one cup boiling water to each vessel and let steep for 5 minutes. Strain immediately into new vessels and let cool to room temperature. Reserve one chrysanthemum flower for garnish. Add two ounces chrysanthemum tea, two ounces olive leaf tea, two ounces gin, and 1/4 teaspoon sugar to cocktail shaker. Fill with ice. Shake for approximately 20 seconds then decant into waiting glass. Add reserved flower for garnish and enjoy. Are you a gin fan? What is your preferred style of gin and gin cocktail?
Happy World Gin Day from Bedford Cottage Tea House, and may your cup never run dry!
