1⁄3 oz Tea syrup (Recipe below)
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1 1⁄2 oz Rye, Rittenhouse 100
1⁄2 oz Grapefruit liqueur, Giffard
1⁄2 oz Aperol
1⁄8 oz Herbal liqueur, Green Chartreuse
Instructions

Shake, double strain, fresh ice, double rocks. Spritz or float green chartreuse. Garnish with three Albanese brand gummy bears on a cocktail pick.

Notes

This drink needs a little more dilution than typical, so shake a few extra seconds.

*African nectar tea syrup: brew 3 Tbsp loose “Mighty Leaf Organic African Nectar” tea (fruity, floral, rooibos) in 9 oz boiling water: add 1 Tbsp at 0 minutes, 1 Tbsp at 3 minutes, and 1 Tbsp at 5 minutes. Strain at 7 minutes. (Adding the tea incrementally preserves more of the tea's floral and fruity properties.) Dissolve 1 cup white sugar. Cool. Add 1/2 oz everclear or a pinch of citric acid as preservative. Lasts several weeks in the fridge. Freeze for extended periods of time.
