PG Tips ‘Royal tea-cup’ cocktail.

To celebrate the birth of the latest heir apparent to the British throne, PG tips has developed a new take on the traditional cuppa to wet the baby’s head – a ‘royal-tea cup’ cocktail.

Working with Rebecca Seal, drinks expert from Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch, the Fruit Cup style cocktail takes inspiration straight from the royal wedding day to combine details from the pair’s nuptials with quintessentially English ingredients, resulting in a rich and refreshing PG tipple packed full of Britishness and served in dainty tea cups.

Ingredients in a PG tips ‘royal-tea cup’ include:

– Strawberries – as a major crop in Cambridgeshire, these summery English berries are perfect to include as part of a royal celebration

– Rose petals – two new rose bushes were named after the happy couple and planted in the grounds of Windsor Castle and sugar roses were used to decorate their eight-tier wedding cake

– Sparkling wine – English sparkling wine was served to guests at the bride and groom’s wedding breakfast

– PG tips The Rich One – like red wine, all tea contains tannins, which gives drinks a wonderfully rich flavour. We’ve used PG tips The Rich One for its full-bodied taste

– Gin – a quintessentially British ingredient and, according to Rebecca Seal, the botanicals used to make gin (like juniper) perfectly complement the flavours in tea

– Cucumber – from a dainty finger sandwich at traditional afternoon tea

– Apple juice – from the fruit trees of the great British orchards

– Elderflower – from the hedgerows that line England’s green and pleasant land

– Mint – from English country gardens

Monkey, Brand Ambassador for PG tips said of the birth: “I’m so excited about the new baby, I’m having to calm my nerves each day with a relaxing brew. I hope the Queen will be chuffed with this celebration cocktail; I’ll definitely be enjoying a ‘royal-tea cup’ or two now the Baby Windsor is born.”

A ‘royal-tea cup’ cocktail can be made either with or without alcohol and is perfect for a sunny garden party, to have with afternoon tea or as an aperitif before a barbecue.
