The past week I spent on a site visit in the middle of the buzzing forest, drizzle of rain and abundance found a blossoming tree with large green bergamot-shaped lemons. I am still unsure if they were bergamot, but the mind accepted with love, and thought of a cocktail. As the bergamot is very sour I need to balance with sweet and bitters – I brewed a cup of Earl Grey Tea with lots of brown sugar – ideally in a classic recipe it would be a simple syrup infused the tea, but like I mentioned, sugary sweet is not my cup of tea!
I add a few dashes of Meyer lemon bitters, ice and of course bourbon.
