Georgian whole-leaf black tea, brandy from Chile and linden honey from Moravia were to form a harmonious combination that no one had ever seen before in this form. The road to today's end product, the Metelka Tea Spirit, was rocky, but together with friends and experts, things became a lot easier. Tasting The best way to enjoy this extremely special drop is simply pure as cognac in a large swirl glass. This is how it develops its great aromas best. If you like, you can add a few ice cubes and a little orange peel. The manufacturer has also already produced one or two cocktail recipes with the Metelka Tea Spirit. How about an Old Fashion, for example? Here is the recipe: 6 cl Tea Spirit 1 cl sugar syrup Bitters to taste Orange/grapefruit flavor Orange peel Ice cubes

However, when demand for Laird's apple brandy increased at the beginning of the 18th century, he expanded his customers and the popular liquor was also available in neighboring pubs and taverns. When Robert Laird fought under George Washington in 1760 and supplied his troops with the already popular spirit, he was so enthusiastic that he regularly spoke of his beloved "Cyder Spirits" and even asked for the family recipe. The Laird family was able to set up an impressive Apple Jack company until the nationwide ban on the production, transport and sale of alcohol.
