Shanghai Tea Party Cocktail
Gok fa cha, or chrysanthemum tea, is sweetened with rock sugar, and this floral punch is made with memories of gok fa cha. Tie guan yin (a style of Chinese tea with notes of creamy, fruity, and vegetal qualities) along with gin, vermouth, Scotch, and lemon—not to mention chrysanthemum—this punch will make your inner child happy!
