As bartenders look for creative ways to add unique flavors, vibrant colors and tantalizing scents to their cocktails, more and more mixologists are turning to an under-utilized ingredient that combines all three: tea. The talented mixologists at Hakkasan Las Vegas have created a Turkish Rose Tea cocktail with bold flavors, vibrant color and a striking visual impact.
The Turkish Rose Tea combines the delicate sweetness of St. Germain, infused with smooth matcha and Hakkasan’s own green batch mix- a unique combination of Jasmine tea syrup, St. Germain and Nolets silver gin.
