Get Making & Shaking

1. Boil the kettle and brew your Babington's Blends Earl Grey as per the instructions. Using the loose-leaf variety will give you maximum flavour. Leave to cool, then chill in the fridge until cold.

2. Pour some caster sugar onto a flat plate then rub half a lemon around the edge of two martini glasses. Invert your glasses and dip them in the sugar so the rim is well-coated.

3. Add 4-6 ice cubes to a cocktail shared then pour in your vodka, freshly squeezed lemon juice and honey. Add 500ml of your chilled tea into a cocktail shaker. 

4. Shake well and pour into a jug. 

5. Using a strainer, pour evenly between the two martini glasses and add a slice of lemon or a curled rind for decoration. Serve immediately.
