By Larry Leo | Prep: | Servings: 1 | Difficulty: Medium
Ingredients
- 4 oz strong-brewed chilled black tea (such as Earl Grey or Assam)
- 1.5 oz fresh peach puree (strained for smoothness)
- 0.75 oz toasted pecan simple syrup
- 0.5 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 oz chilled sparkling water
- Fresh peach slices and a whole toasted pecan for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the pecan syrup by simmering equal parts water and sugar with crushed toasted pecans for 10 minutes, then strain and cool.
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add the chilled black tea, peach puree, pecan syrup, and lemon juice.
- Shake vigorously for 15 seconds until the exterior of the shaker feels frosty and the ingredients are well-integrated.
- Double-strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with fresh ice to ensure a smooth texture.
- Top the glass with chilled sparkling water and stir gently with a long spoon to combine without losing carbonation.
- Garnish with a thin slice of fresh peach and a single toasted pecan perched on top.
