Sounds easy to prepare! Must try! - 01 Jun 2012
Absolutely amazing!!! Earl Grey tea bags work just fine and don't require any straining. I used one in lieu of each teaspoon of loose leaves. This is perhaps the best cocktail I've ever had! - 04 Jan 2011 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
EXCELLENT! Taste just like the "T' Martini at Bellagio. The only issue I had is that it makes either one decent sized martini or two tiny martinis. Either way it is delicious and easy peasy to make. Like others, I steeped a earl grey tea bag instead of loose leaves. Thanks so much for sharing! - 13 Aug 2012 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
