This week Kitchen Aid were showcasing their products for those in the know in the catering industry, with more than a little help from Wildcard PR.
Fortunately for us, we were asked to provide cocktails for the day which gave us a chance to use some of their products in our preparation.
Top of our list was their Artisan Kettle, designed to heat water to your specification from 50-100 degrees Celsius. This nifty appliance is wonderful for all the tea and coffee buffs who applaud the finer details in preparing drinks.

The kettle proved useful as we created two sumptuous cocktails including strong brewed Earl Grey and green tea blends (green tea's optimum temperature for brewing being 65-70 C).
Listed below is our cocktail pick of the day, and for this week as well, perfect for the start of summer.
ALL THE GREENS:
50ml Gin (preferably Bombay Sapphire)
50ml Cucumber juice
10ml Elderflower cordial
35ml V. strong green tea (chilled)
15ml Lemon juice
2 mint leaves
Spank the mint leaves and drop into mixing glass, add all remaining ingredients.
Shake very hard over cubed ice and fine strain into a chilled martini glass. Spank a mint leaf and float on the surface of the drink.
