The name of this refreshing cocktail was inspired by the rich rooibos base in our popular Bourbon Chestnut Herbal Tea (as well as an appreciation for Simon & Garfunkel!) This soft and satiny blend is complemented by sweet vanilla, lemon, and pomegranate, while a bit of hazelnut liqueur adds depth and warmth, all while keeping the ABV (alcohol by volume) low.
