Before I jump into an ingredients listing, I want to point out that this tasty recipe can easily be adapted as non-alcoholic, herbal tea of sorts! Simply steep these botanicals in hot water, instead of spirits-- you'll have a delicious hot beverage instead of a delicious liquor, but the flavor profile will be much the same. By the way, the flavor profile is a three parts “boreal forest” two parts “winter spice” and one part “Mediterranean fruits and herbs.”
