When it comes to cocktails, I think there is nothing better than a refreshing gin and tonic! There is something dependable about this classic cocktail that makes it the perfect choice for almost any occasion. This got me thinking about another dependable drink, our Bayou City Breakfast black tea blend. Our version of an English Breakfast tea, Bayou City Breakfast is an excellent tea for just about any occasion. So, what happens when you pair a dependable cocktail with a reliable tea?
