SFist Drinks: DOSA's Batsman Cocktail

The Batsman
1 1/2 oz Martin Miller’s Gin
1 oz Darjeeling Cordial (see recipe below)
3/4 oz lemon juice
Ginger beer to fill
Garnish: mint sprig/lemon zest

Directions:

Combine first three ingredients in a cocktail shaker, add ice and shake heavily for approx. 5 seconds. Strain into an ice filled Collins glass, top with ginger beer, and garnish.

Darjeeling Cordial
2 cups white rum (well)
4 bags (tbs.) Darjeeling tea
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup honey

Directions:

Steep the tea in the rum for 3 1/2 hours, stirring once in between. In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil and add the honey. Stir to dissolve, remove from heat and let cool. Add this “runny honey” to the infused rum, stir well and bottle.
