www.grandviewhotel.vn: The theme for this Mixology Monday  is tea. Tea cocktails are one of my favorites, so I jumped at the chance to update a classic cocktail with tea.

The Green Tea Gimlet is light and slightly sweet while still giving you what you came to a Gimlet for-vodka. And green tea is good for you. Does that mean this cocktail is good for you? I can't say that, but I'll let you think that if you want.

This cocktail is made with vodka, fresh lemon and a quick-and-easy green tea syrup. If you think you'll want more green tea cocktails, infusing a green tea vodka or buying the one made by Charbay might be a good investment.

Green Tea Gimlet

1 1/2 oz. vodka

3/4 oz. fresh lemon juice

1 oz. green tea syrup

Pour ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake vigorously for 20 seconds. Strain into cocktail glass and garnish with lemon wheel.

Green Tea Syrup

1 cup water

1 cup sugar

1 green tea bag

Combine sugar and water in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Pour into container and steep tea bag in the liquid for 6-7 minutes. Let cool. Refrigerate until ready to use.
