The story behind
Despite its name, this cocktail contains no tea. It was created to offer a refreshing yet high-alcohol drink. As seen in the image, it is served in a tall highball glass with plenty of ice, featuring an amber gradient ranging from a golden hue at the base to a deep coffee brown at the top. The garnish of a fresh lemon slice and mint leaves on the rim enhances its summery and festive appearance.
