This holiday season, Borgata’s fine dining restaurants are creating signature seasonal cocktails, perfect to celebrate this festive time of year. At Izakaya by Michael Schulson, mixologists have created a warm winter libation that’s a perfect way to chase away the cold-weather blues: Hotaka Tea. This Japanese take on a Hot Toddy features infused plum wine and warming cinnamon.
Ingredients
Directions
Begin by studding 2-4 cloves through a fresh lemon peel (Make sure the cloves are snug so they don’t float freely in the drink)
Add the clove-studded peel and a cinnamon stick to a glass or mug
Pour the shochu and honey-infused plum wine over the garnishes
Add a dash of orange bitters and finish with hot water
Stir gently to marry the light libation
Enjoy slowly as the aromatics steep and develop
