'Sneaky Tea' - Winning Cocktail of the Origin Tea Bartender Challenge

'Sneaky Tea' - Winning Cocktail of the Origin Tea Bartender Challenge

Created by Giorgia Zanzani from Balboa's Italian Restaurant, the Sneaky Tea is a cocktail to quench your senses. Visually compelling, aromatically alluring, texturally sublime, and most importantly, a tasty tipple until the last drop.

What appears to be a straight forward drink belies careful consideration of the ingredients that have gone into creating the various elements required to bring this refreshment together.

Artfully built with delicious finesse, the smooth combination of Southern Comfort and Canadian Club Whiskeys perfectly complement the fruity sweetness of Origin Tea's Sneaky Peach Iced Tea Syrup.

Garnished with bursts of Sneaky Peach caviar and a minty perfume, this cocktail is a little luxe and a lot of fun.
