Notes from the "Conductor", Warren Long, Mixologist at Manoir Hovey.
"When trying to come up with a cocktail for [TEALEAVES] I wanted to do something that would be aromatic, after all, tea is as much about the aroma as the taste. I have always found that iced teas limit the aroma, so doing a hot drink seemed the natural course. Also, as noted, it is winter. The Nutcracker tea is perfect for the season: the Sortilege Maple Liqueur matches well and brings a little Quebec to the drink.
However, Sortilege is quite sweet, so I added a simple whiskey.”
