Herbal Strong

El Herbal Flame es un cóctel cálido que combina Hot Damn licor de canela con té dulce, servido en un tarro de mason. El calor picante y dulce de la canela del Hot Damn se mezcla con el carácter dulce y rico en taninos del té dulce estilo sureño para una combinación inusualmente cálida e influenciada por el sur. Se sugiere un palito de canela tanto como adorno como agitador.

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.
