　　曼哈頓調(diào)酒師分享“茶加酒”秘方

　　Around New York, boozy versions of “a spot of tea” are warming up winter drink menus this season as Manhattan mixologists blend green, black and white tea leaves with a range of spirits and wines.

　　紐約各地各種版本的加酒的“一杯茶”正在溫暖這一季的冬季酒水單，曼哈頓的調(diào)酒師們把綠色、黑色和白色的茶葉與各種烈酒和葡萄酒混合到一起。

　　Inside the Refinery Hotel, Alex Ott creates a gender-neutral Speakeasy Punch, which he doles out in generous portions barside at Parker & Quinn. He begins with two ounces of warm hibiscus tea, a flavorful base that is often served cold in the summer. (When brewing this variety, Ott warns against over-steeping the leaves — 14 minutes is usually all it takes.) He then stirs in two and a quarter ounces of Bacardi 8 rum, two ounces of rye, two ounces of house-made rock-candy syrup (at home, white cranberry juice makes a good substitute) and a dash of lemon juice. For an extra dose of comfort, he serves the steaming liquid in a brandy sniffer, which doubles as a hand warmer when the drinker grasps the glass’s broad sides.

　　亞歷克斯·奧特(Alex Ott)在精煉廠酒店(Refinery Hotel) Parker & Quinn酒吧的吧臺(tái)邊發(fā)放大份量的中性“私房潘趣酒”(Speakeasy Punch)。他先倒入兩盎司帶有香味的溫木槿茶，夏季通常用的是冷木槿茶(奧特提醒說這種茶不能泡太久，一般最多泡14分鐘)。然后攪入2.25盎司的巴卡第8(Bacardi 8)朗姆酒、兩盎司黑麥威士忌、兩盎司自制冰糖漿(你在家可以用白越橘汁代替)和一點(diǎn)檸檬汁。為了帶來更多慰藉，他用白蘭地酒杯來盛放這熱氣騰騰的酒水，飲酒的人可以握著寬闊的杯壁取暖。

　　Twenty blocks uptown at another hotel bar, the Pierre’s Two E Bar and Lounge, Sachin Hasan suggests that just about any kind of bourbon pairs well with tea. But instead of simply adding the whiskey directly to already-brewed tea and calling it a day (or, a hot toddy), he infuses it with the flavor of tea by adding a few teaspoons of loose leaves to half a bottle of bourbon, leaving it undisturbed for a few hours and then straining out the leaves. The heady, fragrant infusion that remains can be used to mix and shake a variety of drinks, hot or warm. But for his newly-minted Triple Salchow, a nod to the Sochi Winter Olympics, Hasan instead turns to vodka, which he claims is the easiest to mix with tea thanks to its colorless and mild-tasting nature. Here, he shares his recipe with those watching pre-Olympics coverage at home.

　　在離這里20個(gè)街區(qū)的另一個(gè)市郊酒店酒吧——皮埃爾(Pierre)的Two E Bar and Lounge酒吧里，薩欽·哈桑(Sachin Hasan)建議說任何一種波本威士忌都與茶很配。但他不是簡(jiǎn)單地把威士忌直接倒入已經(jīng)泡好的茶水中就完事大吉了(啊，一杯香甜熱酒)，為了讓威士忌充滿茶香，他在半瓶波本威士忌中加入幾茶匙散茶葉，放置幾個(gè)小時(shí)不要攪動(dòng)，然后濾除茶葉。那醉人、芳香的液體能和各種飲料混合，不管是熱的還是溫的。但是哈桑最新發(fā)明的“薩霍夫三周跳”(Triple Salchow)——這個(gè)名字是為了向索契冬奧會(huì)致敬——用的是伏特加，他說伏特加是最容易和茶混合的，因?yàn)樗鼰o色、味淡。下面他把它的調(diào)制方法分享給那些在家觀看奧運(yùn)會(huì)報(bào)道的人們。
