Mixing at home: Orlando bartenders share ideas for cocktails with limited resources
COMMENTARY similar idea. “One of the most overlooked but easiest ways to perk up simple classics … is tea,” she said. “Using flavored tea at home to infuse your base spirit will not only save time and money spent on prepping perishable herbs and fruits but is generally much quicker and has easier cleanup.”

“It’s easy to come up with an Old Fashioned menu where you can use different sweeteners,” said Hannah, “from maple syrup to honey.”

So don’t despair, Orlando. Raise a freshly washed hand and say
cheers!
