When it comes to hot drinks, dark spirits tend to take center stage. However, I like to mix things up, and, alcoholic or not, one of my favorite warm beverages is a nice white tea. So, why not booze it up? This hot gin punch is perfect for those rainy spring days where you can smell the flowers from a mile away. From my book ‘ For the Love of Cocktails’ this is the perfect alternative to a hot toddy.
