Boulder Blues Greentini

This green tea cocktail recipe is an oldie but goodie here at The Tea Spot. It was chosen by the Southwest Airlines Spirit magazine nearly 10 years ago for their special feature on new trends in tea, and it stands the test of time.

Servings: 2 6-oz cocktail glass servings

Ingredients:

  • 1 tsp Boulder Blues tea leaves, yielding 1/4 cup sweetened tea concentrate
  • 6 ounce Citron Vodka
  • 1 ounce Cointreau
