The Pink Monsoon
The #PaletteForYourPalate Tea Cocktail The Pink Monsoon is Tealeaves ICON and Director of Restaurants Robert Rouleau’s creation, inspired by TEALEAVES Monsoon Chai + Pantone 205C + Mood: Exotic.
Notes from Robert Rouleau, Director of Restaurants at The Beverly Hills Hotel:
“We were trying to create a spiced rum for our Piña Colada, and Monsoon Chai was perfect for infusing Bacardi Superior rum.”
