Peace, family!
I won’t lie, I love a good cocktail. They’re especially great during the holiday season, when shared with family and friends that I’ve been missing all year. This cocktail, made with Tito’s Handmade Vodka is delicious and perfect for any festive celebration.
The flavor is in the details. A special touch that you’ll absolutely love is my raspberry-sage ice cubes. They’re super easy to make, and adds flavor to your drink, even as the ice melts.
Tito’s Handmade Vodka
We love Tito’s in our house, and usually keep at least one bottle stocked at our bar. It’s distilled just up the road from here at a facility in Austin, Texas.
Why I love Passion Tea
Hibiscus is one of my favorite flavors on earth. I love to buy loose leaf hibiscus and infuse my favorite drinks with it. My husband recently hipped me to the fact that it pairs wonderfully with spearmint. You may want to try a drink like this with a different variety of herbs and find your favorite flavor combination. You never know what new amazing variety you may come up with! Just be sure to save me some. I love herbal tea cocktails because you get big flavor with minimal or no added calories. Tazo passion tea has hibiscus, orange peel, and rose hip. Delicious.
Try this recipe out and let me know what you think!
