Bourbon Raspberry Rose

 

Here's the 4th mock bourbon tea blend. I love the name of this blend. It sounds very elegant and feminine. 😍

I love how the tea looks as well.

Seeing the rose petals in there, makes me smile because it's so colorful and pretty! I could taste the raspberry flavor and a hint of bourbon in the end. It's the same for the smell. I could instantly smell the raspberries and roses, then a hint of smokiness.

The color and flavor of the tea stands on its own. Therefore, it wasn't a need for any milk.

Recipe:

2 Tbsps of "Bourbon Raspberry Rose"

Sweetener 

1 cup of water

Bourbon Maple-Butterscotch Tea Blend

 

This is my 3rd tea blend from my bourbon tea blend selection. 

It's very earthy and dark colored. The cover for this was a perfect choice because the blend looks very similar to it!

The smell isn't as smokey as the first one. You can smell a bit of sweetness in it. I love the caramel color and taste of this blend. 

I honestly believe that I'm typing this, but I think my taste buds seems to not like coffee creamer in my teas!🤪 If you know me, that's why I say that I'm tea tripping (at least one of the reason) because I don't follow the social tea norms.

But, I added oatmilk to it and it tasted AMAZING to me. It take away the flavor, it just added a buttery, creamy, taste to it.

Recipe:

2 Tbsps of "Bourbon Maple-Butterscotch tea blend 

1 cup of water

Sweetener 

1/4 cup of oat milk (optional)

Bourbon Flavors

 

Here's my 2nd bourbon flavor "Butterscotch Vanilla".

This one is less smokey. I can taste the Kentucky Bourbon smokiness, but the sweetness of the Vanilla & Butterscotch. 

As usual, I poured a small amount of tea into another cup to see how it'd taste with creamer. Winner!!! 

Recipe:
1 1/2 "Butterscotch Vanilla" Bourbon 
Brown sugar
1 cup of water
1 tbsp of Vanilla coffee creamer 

Bourbon Flavors

 

I've never had an alcohol beverage (Unless you count that time as teenager when my friend and I were cleaning up after her parents' party and I took a sip of the last drop in the bottle. That drop BURNED! I was convinced that drinking WASN'T in my future. No thanks! I'm good!)

Adagio has a tea flavor in the signature blend choices called "Kentucky Bourbon". So, I wanted to play around by adding flavors. 

I searched Pinterest to find different Bourbon drinks and came up with some tea mock flavors. 

This is the first of FIVE bourbon flavors I created. 

Okay! You can TRULY smell that smokey scent! I had to brace myself for the taste. I'm a creamer in my tea type of gal, but I'm learning to try a small sample before putting in into the ENTIRE cup. 

Whew! I'm glad I did that because...yuck! It would of tasted terrible! It tastes good without it. 

Recipe:
1 1/2 Tbsp of Bourbon Orange You Strong
Brown sugar 
1 cup of water
