By the time Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce said “I do” at Madison Square Garden on July 3, the internet was already hard at work reverse-engineering every detail of the reception, from the flowers to, apparently, the bar cart. Enter the leaked cocktail menu photo currently ricocheting around Swiftie Twitter. The photo in question shows a drink line-up with three cocktails named The English Teacher, The Gym Teacher, and T&Tequila.
A quick refresher for anyone who somehow managed to escape the discourse: when Swift and Kelce announced their engagement on Instagram last August, she captioned the post “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” and added a cute little TNT emoji. So when a cocktail menu surfaced with those exact nicknames on it, Swifties did what Swifties do — they lost it, and then immediately tried to recreate the drinks at home.

The problem? No one has officially confirmed the menu is real. The photo has been circulating without a clear, original source, so we’re going to file this one under “delicious rumor” for now.
But real or not, the internet doesn’t wait for fact-checks when there’s a cute and delicious cocktail involved, and Empress Gin apparently agreed, releasing a recipe for The English Teacher that anyone can make at home, wedding-adjacent or not.
The English Teach Cocktail
Method: Shake with ice and strain into a coupe. Garnish with a lemon twist
Confirmed wedding menu or just a clever internet rumor, it’s still a genuinely solid gin sour recipe. Plus, the citrus will nudge the gin’s natural indigo hue toward a soft lavender as it settles, making for a gorgeous and aesthetic cocktail photo opp. Assign it as required reading this summer.
