Sip on This Gin-and-Tea Cocktail at Miss Boston's

Cleverly named, the Tea Party from Miss Boston’s Cocktail Lounge (3401 E. Old Stone Rd., Brookline) is a refreshing little nod to the revolution. The real star of the cocktail is the Plymouth Navy Strength Gin infused with Earl Grey tea, which provides a solid foundation to contrast against the delicate, slightly sweeter flavors present in the elderflower liqueur. However, it’s the melange of lime, mint, grenadine and grapefruit that make this drink feel like a liberating taste of summer, which will be here before we know it. We suggest pairing it with the oh-so-smooth housemade hummus served with fresh veggies and pita bread. Miss Boston’s Cocktail Lounge opened this past December and stakes the claim as the first specialty cocktail bar in the Republic area. You’ll also find a robust number of other signature and classic cocktails on the menu, as well as beer and wine.
