Silver Lining Earl Grey Cocktail

This Earl Grey cocktail offers a delicate aroma of bergamot. With champagne flute in hand, perhaps dive into smoked salmon and cucumber canapes, or skewers of fresh fruit. Though Earl Grey is a black tea usually served hot, turning it into a sweet syrup allows for it to mix with the flavors of the champagne and prosecco in this recipe. It doesn’t hurt that you get a little extra caffeination from the tea, either!

How to Make Earl Grey Syrup

To make the Earl Grey syrup, brew a cup of Earl Grey tea in a saucepot. When it’s at your preferred strength (judge this by how dark and fragrant it is), add a cup of sugar and simmer until the sugar dissolves. Then, let it cool. These tea infusions are great for other cocktails or mocktails, so store this away in the fridge in a lidded jar for a few weeks maximum.
