Ingredients (210ml per serve):
· 160ml Cherry Iced Tea
· 10ml Cherry Liqueur
· 20ml Toasted Cherry Pit Vermouth
· 20ml Valencia
Components:
Cherry Iced Tea
A balanced mix of tart, sweet, and tannic notes.
· 700ml black tea (3:1 English Breakfast & Earl Grey)
· 75ml cherry shrub
· 150ml cherry syrup
Cherry Liqueur
Choose a lower-ABV liqueur with a fresh cherry character—something lightly sweet rather than overly jammy.
Toasted Cherry Pit Vermouth
We infuse summer flowers from Saison with toasted cherry pits, adding a nutty depth and a touch of bitterness reminiscent of Campari.
Valencia – Farm Larder Distillery
A dry, citrus-forward spirit infused with locally sourced botanicals. The primary flavour comes from Valencia oranges grown on the founder’s Nonna’s farm, with grapefruit adding depth and texture.
Light, aromatic, and bursting with summer fruit, this Americano is the perfect prelude to the night ahead.
