Our Tea of the Week for May 8, 2023! I was inspired to create this tea based off a cocktail recipe called the “Blood Orange Pineapple Rum cocktail”. That’s a bit too wordy & precise for my liking – let’s face it, it’s not as cute or clever as Fuzzy Navel or Harvey Wallbanger. There’s absolutely nothing cute or clever about “Blood Orange Pineapple Rum Cocktail.” I thought for a while about calling it the BOP Cocktail – but that just sounded – ugh.
So, lacking a cute or clever cocktail name for this delicious concoction, I decided to simply call it Cute & Clever Cocktail. Bonus: The name Cute & Clever Cocktail fits better on the space on the pouch labels than does Blood Orange Pineapple Rum Cocktail.
Anyway – you might be asking why did I even go with this combination if I didn’t have a name for it? Answer: I wanted something delicious with rum, pineapple and blood orange.
You might also be asking why I’m going on like this. Answer: I don’t know.
What I do know is that I love this tea. I cold-brewed it overnight and I’m in love with it. It’s fruity & I love the way the pineapple & blood orange work together. The rum essence (alcohol free) is not particularly strong, I didn’t want it too strong because I wanted the pineapple & blood orange to be the main focus – but it’s strong enough that I can taste it.
It’s really good. I can’t recommend cold-brew enough for this tea – so very refreshing.
