Cocktail Colin says:
The Christmas Tea Warmer concocts a harmonious blend of spiced and sweet flavors, serving as a quintessential winter hug in a glass. The rich, nutty notes of Amaretto perfectly complement the zesty orange liqueur, while the cinnamon stick infuses a warming spice that marries beautifully with the robust black tea, creating a comforting and festive sip.
