I bought a 100mL mini of Earl Grey liqueur today. Purely because it's, er, Earl Grey liqueur. It's quite sweet, yes, and tastes very strongly of Earl Grey tea (Bergamot being a dominant flavour note). I want cocktail ideas--ideally things that aren't too sweet. I should add that it's based on gin.

I'm sure it would go well as some sort of French 75. Gin, Earl Grey, Lemon, Champagne. Maybe with a Chardonnay based Champagne rather than a Pinot heavy one.

A few things that have just come to mind:

Caipirinha, maybe If you can find fresh bergamot to use as well, or maybe just with limes as normal. Use the liqueur instead of sugar/gomme.

Sidecar, liqueur instead of Cointreau

Same as above for a White Lady/Chelsea Sidecar
