Ingredients

6 total
  • 1 green tea teabag
  • 4 lime leaves
  • 2 (approx.) limes, ½ chopped (rind and all), 1½ juiced (to give 40ml), plus extra to garnish (optional)
  • 1 tbsp caster sugar
  • 100ml vodka
  • 2 maraschino cherries, to garnish

Method

4 steps

  1. Step 1

    Make up 100ml of green tea, drop in the lime leaves and leave to steep and cool; chill.

  2. Step 2

    In a cocktail shaker or clean lidded jar, muddle the chopped lime with the sugar. Add the vodka, green tea, 40ml lime juice and a good handful of ice cubes. Twist the lid on; shake well for 15 secs to chill.

  3. Step 3

    Strain into glasses, over ice if preferred. Garnish with maraschino cherries and lime bats, if you like.

  4. Step 4

    For the bat garnish, if making, cut a shallow lengthwise slit in a lime. Gently prise it open and scrape out the flesh to keep the peel whole. Carve out a bat-shaped garnish with wings and small body. Bend the wings upward.
