Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.94 / 5
The Teaplanter cocktail is a refreshing drink that combines gin with the sweet and fizzy profile of lemonade, creating a delightful mix that is perfect for warm weather or as an afternoon relaxant. Typically served in a highball glass, the Teaplanter is enhanced with the subtle addition of fragrant orange slices and a hint of Angostura bitters for a complex flavor. These bitters add a layer of spice and a touch of herbal nuance, balancing out the sweet citrus notes of the orange and the tang of the lemonade. The result is a cocktail that is zesty, slightly bitter, and effortlessly easy to sip.

Cocktail Colin says:

4/5

The Teaplanter is a gentle refreshment with the elegance of gin uplifting the sweetly fizzy lemonade, while the orange and bitters elegantly dance on your tastebuds for a citrus extravaganza. The subtle hint of spice from the Angostura bitters creates a perfect balance, resulting in a refreshing sip that's just as pleasing on the eye as it is on the palate.
