I've had a very mild cold over the last 36 hours or so and was hankering for a cocktail, but I knew it was a bad idea. Then I thought 'wait...I have a cold..hot drink..hot buttered rum', but I didn't have the ingredients handy.
So then I thought "I have a cold...tea..rum" So with a little improvisation here's what I came up with.

Take some Darjeeling Tea, or even Celestial Seasonings Green Tea (it seems to have some sort fo fruity twist to it) and mix two ounces Gold Rum (I used Appleton) and one ounce Orgeat, and presto! You actually have a pretty good tasting tea/cocktail minus the guilt of drinking while you are trying to get rid of a cold. Or maybe you're just cold and want something hot to drink. As they used to say on the Alka Seltzer commercials back in the day...."Try it, you'll like it!!" :drink:
