AMSTERDAM TEA ROOM

Signature Summer Tea Cocktails You Shouldn’t Miss

Amsterdam Tea Room’s specialty drink menu is where its expertise truly shines. Each drink is built with intention, using premium teas and house-made syrups and infusions for thoughtful pairings.

G & Tea A summer tea reinterpretation of the classic, this drink combines in-house Earl Grey sugar syrup with gin, fresh lemon and tonic water. A lot of customers also purchase the Earl Grey syrup and make this cocktail themselves, perfect for hosting summer parties at home. There is also a zero-proof version available. Just Peachy The Tea Room’s most popular zero-proof tea cocktail, the peach hibiscus tea alcohol-free margarita, is a perfect balance of sweet, salt and acid. The Peach Punch syrup is also available to take home, and under their bartenders’ expert guidance, customers are encouraged to get creative at home and become accomplished home mixologists. ATR Old Fashioned Amsterdam Tea Room’s signature Old Fashioned has been on the cocktail menu since Day 1. Twelve- year-old rum is complemented with Lapsang Souchong smoked tea sugar and chocolate bitters. To top it off, it’s finished with burnt orange oil. Fun fact: the crystal-clear ice cubes used in their cocktails are made in-house. They create giant blocks of

clear ice, and every ice cube is hand- carved from these blocks — no two

ice cubes are the same! Kitties Out Mead

Amsterdam Tea Room loves to work with local partners and creators. This collaboration is with Brat Cat Mead Co. Here, the creative minds at Brat Cat have used the Tea Room’s Peach & Mango Oolong Tea and combined it with their honey mead. A perfect summer patio sipper and launched as part of Winnipeg’s Pride Festival. Peach Tea Wheat Ale Another collaboration, this time with the Tea Room’s closest local brewery Little Brown Jug. Here, the brewers have used a Rainforest Alliance breakfast black tea from Kenya. This drink layers rich black tea with juicy peach and a refreshing finish. It’s elegant, refreshing and a perfect example of how tea can complement local craft beer and add a unique complexity that can’t be found anywhere else. Each drink is an invitation to explore tea beyond the teabag — and a reminder that tea can be just as expressive and exciting as any summer beverage trend.

Amsterdam Tea Room has evolved into a beloved fixture in the city, known equally for its consistently excellent service, food and, of course, its inventive tea cocktails.
