5 O'Clock Tea

2 1⁄2 oz Gin, Tanqueray 10 (*masala chai infused)
3⁄4 oz Heavy whipping cream
2 dr Jamaican #1 bitters, Bittercube
2 t Brown sugar (packed)
Instructions

Shake, double strain, up. Serve with Parle-G biscuits

Notes

*in a 1 cup mason jar layer: 1 vanilla bean (halved and split), 1 stick of cinnamon (broken), 5 cardamom pods (bruised), 1 star anise, 1/2" ginger (thinly sliced), 1 tsp black tea, 1/2 tsp black peppercorns (bruised), 1/2 tsp cloves, 1/2 tsp lemon grass, 1/4 tsp grated nutmeg. Fill the mason jar w/ gin, seal, and shake 3-5 times over 24 hours. Strain and top off w/ gin

History

After my trip to Munnar, India, I came back with so many spices for masalas and chai's--I had to work on an infusion. I was a bit surprised how bracing the bitterness from the black tea and spices was, but I'd never infused with spices that were that fresh, so I ended up boosting the base spirit to balance it out. This drink ended up intense in spiciness and tempered bitterness, with an excellent mouth feel.

Gently toast 3 cinnamon sticks in a pan over low heat until warmed and slightly smoky. Add them to the jar along with 1 750-ml. bottle Campari. Let the mixture infuse for 12 hours, then use tongs to remove the cinnamon sticks. Let the mixture infuse another 2 days then strain into a clean glass container.

Jeff Moore commented on 5/08/2020:

This cocktail is phenomenal!!!  I upped the nocino to AT LEAST 1/2 oz & used 1 dash or Orange bitters & 1 dash of Black Walnut bitters...  this is now on my go-to regular rotation

Shawn C commented on 10/17/2022:

This is a very good cocktail. I was concerned that the mild flavor of Amaro Nonino would be lost here, but it works. I used a batch of Abbott's bitters I just made based on Darcy O'Neil's recipe (I am quite pleased with them.) Other components were Nux Alpina and Courvoisier VSOP. A slightly drier cognac than I used might be a better choice for this drink.

  • I only had Crema de Mezcal so I used that, but it was still really good. I love the form factor of the giant cube with this drink.
  • We both like this, but K prefers with an equal-split in base (3/4 oz ea gin+mezcal). — ★★★★
  • Responsible use of mezcal and clever construction. — ★★★
  • Subbed Becharovka for cinnamon syrup. One or two too many things going on in this, to my taste.
  • Made with 2:1 turbinado syrup. This is really really good. Luxardo and Mezcal work well together, though I might lower the amount of Luxardo to a heavy 1/4 next time.
