Sounds
pretty sweet right? Well you could win
that trip to Vegas Uncork’d too, just by voting.
And what better beverage to vote for than the WhiteTea Bulger: a combination of
sweetened white tea, Jameson Irish whiskey (my fav!) and prosecco?
I pose two challenges to you lovely
readers:
- Go vote for the WhiteTea Bulger, and pass it on to anyone you know who likes a good drink.
- Try the recipe out this weekend!
I love this recipe for a few reasons:
- The ingredients are simple and easy to find. No funky purees, beverage “flakes” (what is that?!), or rare liqueurs. The white tea and Jameson are actually already in my kitchen.
- The procedure is also simple, making it easy to concoct while entertaining – there are just 5 quick steps to prepare.
- The flavor combination sounds natural and enticing. The tea and whiskey make it the perfect beverage to kick-off a night out, but the prosecco screams, “Hey! Forget the mimosa at brunch and drink me!”
- The name is clever. Here is the “inspiration” for the drink, courtesy of mionettomixology.com:
Whitey Bulger, one of
America's most wanted for decades was the inspiration for this Boston-born
cocktail. As the city's most notorious crime boss, his spirited 20+ year run
from the law took him around the world. Borrowing from the locations of
Whitey’s many known hideouts; the “WhiteTea Bulger” marries the effervescent
sweetness of Italian Moinetto Prosecco and the naturally sweet and slightly
malty flavors of white tea with Whitey’s hometown favorite – Irish whiskey.
Together, they combine to create a delicious and easy-drinking cocktail that
packs an Irish punch.
