Created to showcase flavors typical of Asia such as jasmine tea and mandarin oranges, the Jasmine Mandarin Sour is also a good example of a twist on a classic. Using a sour base, Simon layers on vodka infused with jasmine tea and the robust flavor of Absolut Mandarin to create a modern experience of the classic sour.

    I didn’t realize the infusion process was that fast with vodka and tea bags, that’s definitely something I’ll try soon

    Simon,

    I enjoyed this at the Art of the Cocktail in Rochester, NY yesterday! 

    One question: If using a lower proof alcohol, does the steeping time increase?  I’m thinking of trying this with sake.

    Cheers!

    Simon,
    Do you think it might work well in the ISI whip?
    I mean, just to produce a foam with all that flavours
