The Bold And The Blue-Teaful
The #PaletteForYourPalate Tea Cocktail The Bold And The Blue-Teaful is Bartender Shannon Marshall’s creation, inspired by TEALEAVES Organic English Breakfast + Pantone 285C + Mood: Bold.
Notes from Shannon Marshall, Bartender at Four Seasons Hotel Toronto:
“I created an infusion with the tea, then used blueberries as both sweetener and natural food dye. Complementing the flavors is the gentle effervescence of Perrier-Jouët Champagne.”
