Oolong Showers Bring Ladybug Flowers

“This is my new favorite cocktail on our menu,” says Ryan Warwick, lead mixologist at Dogfish Head’s Chesapeake & Maine in Rehoboth Beach. It’s a bright yet flavorful drink featuring Dogfish Head Ladybug Silver Rum, infused with Coconut Oolong Tea, Strega Liqueur, a Lavender Honey, Lemon Juice, and some egg white. The citrus and florals open the palate up while the tea infused rum lingers around slowly drawing out the sweetness of the coconut, but not in an overwhelming way.
