Witch'S Brew
- 1/2 cup boba tea tapioca pearls (I used black ones I found on Amazon)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 20 fresh mint leaves
- 4 ounces Green Chartreuse
- 4 ounces gin
- 4 ounces fresh lime juice
- 4 ounces simple syrup
- 1 ounce Aperol (or Campari)
- First prepare the boba tapioca balls. Bring 6 cups of water to a boil, then add the 1/4 cup sugar and the tapioca balls. Wait until the tapioca balls float to the surface, then cover and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes, or until they reach your desired softness. Drain and run cold water over them for about 30 seconds. Set aside.
- To make each cocktail, muddle 5 mint leaves in the bottle of a cocktail shaker. Add 1 ounce each Chartreuse, gin, lime juice, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker 2/3 to 3/4 full of ice and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds.
- Dump the contents of the shaker into a tall cocktail glass, and stir in a couple spoonfuls of the cooked tapioca balls. Gently spoon 1/4 ounce of Aperol over the top, then serve immediately with a straw. Repeat to make the remaining three cocktails.
