BLACK TEA AND WHISKEY COOLER
Florida A&M, or FAMU, the historically Black college and university founded in 1887 in Tallahassee, canceled its homecoming celebrations for 2020 because of the Covid-19 pandemic. This whiskey cooler from Shameeka Ayers, an alumna, is Florida sunshine beamed into a glass. The orange and green are inspired by FAMU's colors; Ms. Ayers calls the drink the Three Strike, inspired by the school's "Strike, Strike and Strike Again" chant. The black tea adds depth and is refreshing year-round. The Uncle Nearest whiskey honors Nathan "Nearest" Green, the enslaved African who taught Jack Daniels how to distill.

Steps:
- Prepare the tea: Place a kettle over high and bring 2 1/2 cups water to a boil. Remove from heat and transfer 2 cups water to a heatproof vessel.
- Add the tea and let steep for 10 minutes. Let the hot tea cool to room temperature. (This yields 2 cups of tea, so you will have some left over; save it for unsweetened iced tea or additional cocktails.)
- Use a muddler to slightly pound the mint leaves in a cocktail shaker. You'll smell the fragrance as the oils release.
- Fill the shaker halfway with ice, then add the whiskey, peach nectar, orange liqueur, vanilla extract and 6 ounces of the prepared tea. Shake for 30 seconds. Strain each serving into a highball glass halfway filled with ice and garnish with a mint sprig.

Remove the tea bags, and squeeze the liquid back into the pot. Transfer the tea to a container, and refrigerate until cool, about 10 minutes.
- Fill 4 highball glasses, Collins glasses or 12-ounce mason jars with ice. Add 2 to 3 ounces of the whiskey and 8 ounces of the tea to each. Garnish with lemon slices and dried jasmine flowers if using.
WHISKY TEA
This is how my grandad makes his cups of tea. He's in his seventies now and drinks whisky like he'll never get hold of it again. This drink is very relaxing and a great way to sedate family members and friends.
