“Here’s a cocktail to cocoon with on chilly autumn nights. I started with Earl Grey infused in a simple syrup made with seasonal ground cherries for good measure. In terms of spirits, rum and vermouth are an underrated match and a lot of home bars have them handy. The ground cherries blend well with the rum’s vanilla notes, while the orange garnish pairs nicely with the bergamot-flavoured tea. Put it alltogether and you have a balanced cocktail for fall.”— Nicolas Cadrin, recipe tester
