Cloud Forest Recipe

Cloud forest is a smoky, fruity punch-style tiki drink invented by rowan at fogged in lounge, an excellent but now-defunct cocktail blog. Rowan devised the recipe in response to a mixology monday event challenging blog authors to come up with cocktails involving tea, and selected a smoky, woody russian caravan tea as the base. You can use any black tea blend you like, but a smoky tea will have the best effect, lending a mysterious, complex flavor to the drink to offset the sweetness of the fruit juices.
