MIXOLOGY RECIPE

The Sun Beam

CHAMOMILE SOUR

Named after the German town of Seiffen, The Sun Beam tea cocktail is Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas’ creation, blending TEALEAVES Organic Chamomile Blossoms + Pantone 116C + Mood: Calm.

THE TEA MOOD
CALM

Organic Chamomile Blossoms’ tranquil qualities help the body unwind.

THE MUSE
BEE

Carefree days filled with calm and comfort evoke the nostalgia of lying in a field, the gentle hum of bees happily drifting by with golden treasures.

THE COLOR
PANTONE 116 C

“Sparkling with optimism, this warm and engaging yellow provides hope and comfort.”

LAURIE PRESSMAN
Vice President | Pantone Color Institute™

Mixologist's Notes:
Blending Tea + Color + Mood

“Sunbeam represents both the Organic Chamomile Blossoms and the color given to us from Pantone. But also, we wanted our cocktail to embody all the sun and sunlight that is prevalent here in Las Vegas.”

— Michael LaPenna, Mixologist at Mandarin Oriental, Las Vegas

The Sun Beam

“I wanted let the chamomile shine. I didn't want to mask the delicate blend with dominant flavors. So I infused the cachaça with chamomile for ten days, allowing the taste to come out. Pairing the infusion with sage honey tied it all together.”

- Michael LaPenna
