I first discovered X-Rated last February, and ever since then it’s been my go-to mix-in whenever I want just a little fruitiness in my drink without too much kick (a mix of French vodka, blood orange, mango and passion fruit, it’s delicious while being relatively low-alcohol).
I suspect it’s commonly thought of as a summertime drink (pink, fruity, etc), but my favorite way to use it is by mixing an ounce into a cup of hot pomegranate tea. It’s also delicious in iced pomegranate tea with a slice or two of lime squeezed in, but these days I’m feeling more steamy than icy, so hot tea it is.
