With bright citrus Tanqueray No.TEN gin and the delicate flavour of jasmine tea, this cocktail has a multi-layered profile. Sweet watermelon syrup is paired with a slightly bitter fig leaf cordial, and depth is provided by basil and rosemary notes. It was crafted by master mixologist Tiffanie Barriere as part of the 'Cocktails of Dreams' experiment – a new project combining technology and cocktail artistry as bartenders interpret dreams to create innovative drinks.

- 1.5 oz double-steeped jasmine tea
- 1 oz watermelon syrup
