The Surplus Cobbler cocktail was created by Drinks Distilled Spirits Guide La’Mel Clarke to celebrate our collaboration with award-winning, non-alcoholic spirits brand CROSSIP and Mr Lyan’s east London cocktail bar Seed Library.
Inspired by Seed Library’s seasonal and sustainable approach to cocktail creation, the serve equates to 0.5 units (less than your average cobbler cocktail which tends to be between at least 1-2 units plus).

What you need
- 15ml Crossip Dandy Smoke
- 30ml Cold-Extracted Rare Tea Co. Chinese White Silver Tips Tea

Method
