Mixologist's Notes:
Blending Tea + Color + Mood

“The name Second Spring comes from Albert Camus. He muses that, 'Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.' It was a perfect fit for this autumnal cocktail, with its blue tones, floral ingredients and fresh taste from Organic Peppermint.”

— Todd Zimmerman, Bartender at Four Seasons Hotel Vancouver
