The name of this tea is decieving, there are no blueberries or blueberry-flavored ingredients, instead it is simply a really good warm drink that is very aromatic. Using a brandy snifter helps the warm orange, apricot and tea fragrances combine to delight the senses. The glass is further accented when you place the orange wheel inside the glass and allow it to float flat on top of the tea. Maran Illustrated Bartending has a few more great warm tea and cider drinks.
INGREDIENTS:
- 3/4 oz Grand Marnier
- 3/4 oz amaretto
- orange pekoe tea
- orange wheel for garnish

A Tom and Jerry is a classic winter cocktail and a must try for every explorer of the drink world. It’s a sweet, frothy warm drink that is flavored by dark rum and, usually, Cognac (other brandy can be used as well). It’s best with hot milk which makes the drink thicker than if hot water were used.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 egg
- 1/2 oz simple syrup or 1 tsp powdered sugar
- 1 oz dark rum
- 1 oz Cognac or brandy
- hot milk or hot water
- grated nutmeg for garnish

This recipe for a Midnight Snowstorm is very similar to a Hot Peppermint Patty, using crème de menthe in place of the harsher peppermint schnapps. This substitution leaves the minty, chocolate flavor but does so in a very smooth, creamy way. Use white crème de menthe inside the drink and add green crème de menthe on top of the whipped cream for a little color.
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 oz white crème de menthe
- hot chocolate
- 1/2 oz green crème de menthe
- whipped cream
