INSPIRATION

During the American prohibition on alcohol (1920-1933), many speakeasies served straight whiskey in teacups and saucers.  This clever presentation not only harkens back to the roaring twenties, but it is also a playful and fun way to enjoy Baijiu Whiskey in a delicious cocktail.  To give the illusion that you are serving hot tea, add dry ice to the tea pot, just make sure to put in a large mesh tea ball to prevent accidental ingestion.
