Estonia | Sigrid Sarv | O’ Polo Sling

Before starting to mix the cocktail, we have to make the tea – which is the key ingredient in this drink. Use a sweet berry loose leaf tea (10g of tea and 100ml of water), mix it with boiling water (leave it to stay for 5 minutes) and cool it down. After this is done – we can start to make the cocktail 🙂 Take a old-fashioned glass and add ice into it, leave it to cool. Take a Shaker and start to put into it the following ingredients (the ice cubes are the last thing you add to the shaker).

15 ml Fresh Lemon Juice
