Tea & Teeling
This is a riff on the classic cocktail called the Cameron's Kick which is a mix of Irish Whiskey, Scotch Whiskey, lemon juice and orgeat
This was a popular drink during the 1930s in both the UK & France. This is a simple twist by adding the very aromatic masala chai tea infusion, chocolate liqueur, sherry and bitters. It's a great representation of the
Teeling Small Batch - the malt shines wonderfully as does the subtle aromatic rum notes.
