This refreshing pick-me-up, made with rye, sherry, and crisp cold-brewed black tea, is slightly nutty, slightly malty, tart and thirst-quenching.

Cook’s note:

To make the simple syrup, combine ½ cup granulated sugar with ½ cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve sugar completely. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate up to 2 weeks.

Ingredients

Cold-brewed black tea

½ oz. oloroso sherry
2 oz. cold-brewed black tea
½ oz. lemon juice
