التعليمات
Pour Hot Damn 100 in bottom of a jar or regular glass. Fill the rest of the glass with sweet tea. Stir with spoon, straw, or better yet a cinnamon stick and leave it in.
The Herbal Flame is a warm cocktail combining Hot Damn cinnamon liqueur with sweet tea, served in a mason jar. The spicy, sweet cinnamon heat of the Hot Damn blends with the sweet, tannin-rich character of Southern-style sweet tea for an unusually warming, Southern-influenced combination. A cinnamon stick is suggested as both garnish and stirrer.
History & Origins
The Herbal Flame is an American casual drink that draws on the Southern tradition of sweet tea — one of the defining beverages of the American South — combined with the cinnamon-flavored liqueur that became popular in American bars during the 1990s. Hot Damn 100-proof cinnamon schnapps was a widely used product in the same era as Goldschläger and other cinnamon spirits. Its specific origin is disputed.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: cinnamon spice from the Hot Damn and sweet, tannic black tea from the sweet tea. Palate: warm and spicy with cinnamon's heat and sweetness blending with the tea's tannins and sweetness, creating an unusual Southern-spiced combination. Finish: warm, cinnamon-spiced, and sweet with a lingering tea tannin and a gentle spirit heat.
Pro Tip
Use a strongly brewed, properly sweetened Southern-style sweet tea and add a cinnamon stick as both a garnish and a stirrer to reinforce the cinnamon character throughout drinking.
