Ingredients

• Jasmine tea base 🍵
• 🍵 120 ml strong jasmine tea, cooled (½ cup / 4 fl oz)
• 🍯 10 g sugar (2 tsp / 0.35 oz)
• Cocktail mix 🍸
• 🍸 120 ml vodka (½ cup / 4 fl oz)
• 🍈 120 ml lychee juice (½ cup / 4 fl oz)

• 🌿 2–4 small mint sprigs
• 🍋 2 thin lime wheels
• 🌸 edible dried jasmine flowers, optional

Preparation

• 1 Brew the jasmine tea 🍵 Pour hot water over the jasmine tea and steep until strong and fragrant, about 4–5 min. Stir in the sugar while warm, then let the tea cool completely before mixing. ✨
• 2 Chill the glasses 🧊 Place 2 serving glasses in the fridge or fill them briefly with ice water for 5 min so the cocktail stays colder and looks sharper when poured. 🥂
• 3 Build the shaker 🍸 Add the cooled jasmine tea, vodka, lychee juice, lime juice, and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake for 15–20 sec until icy cold and lightly frosted on the outside. 🍋
• 4 Strain and top ✨ Fill the chilled glasses with fresh ice, then strain the cocktail mixture evenly into both glasses. Top each glass with sparkling water or prosecco for lift and sparkle. 🥂
• 5 Garnish and serve 🌸 Add lychees, mint, and a lime wheel to each glass. Finish with a tiny pinch of dried jasmine flowers if using, then serve immediately while bright, cold, and sparkling. 🍈
