Tea Light Cocktails From Donovan House

Josh Berner, the bar manager at Zentan restaurant at Washington's Donovan House hotel, created three “Tea Lights” cocktails using freshly brewed teas. Served in glass jars, the Tea Lights come in creative combinations. The Livin' Is Easy cocktail comprises Beefeater gin infused with citrus-chamomile tea; others mix Basil Hayden bourbon, house-made lemon bitters, and black tea syrup; and strawberry-infused Tequila Real combined with lemon juice and verbena-mint tea.
