We all know that I love to get my hands on a cup of tea as often as possible.
But unfortunately it’s not really appropriate to go ordering a cuppa at a party or social event.
My dilemma could now have been solved though, as I am absolutely thrilled to hear that there is now the perfect tipple for tea-lovers across the land.
Louise Goldsbury writes in the Age about signature drinks that are available around the world. She reports that there is now a new twist on New York’s classic Manhattan cocktail … and it involves tea, hurrah!
Chic hotspot the Pegu Club has recently introduced the Earl Grey MarTEAni, which is made out of tea-infused gin.
I know what I’ll be ordering at Christmas parties over the next few days … and if it’s not on offer anywhere in Blighty then what better excuse is there for a new year hop across the pond to the Big Apple?
Sex and the City girls Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte were all big Manhattan drinkers, maybe they’ll join me for one?
What’s your favourite Christmas tipple?
Keep festive, tea-lovers.

I think traditional mulled wine or cider is the best.
