We’re always on the hunt for ways to have our booze and be healthy, too.
Usually that means an extra hour a day in the gym. Or three pieces of lime on our cocktail glass instead of two.
But there’s a new whiskey that just might have enough inherent health benefits to make us cut down the extra effort, if only a tad.
Green tea is loaded with antioxidants and gives a natural energy boost. And the people at Marlee’s Green Tea Whiskey have combined the power of Chinese Gunpowder green tea with premium American rye whiskey and organic Mexican blue agave nectar for just a touch of sweetness.
Now we can’t go claiming drinking this is actually healthful, but it’s gotta be better for you than just a straight glass of whiskey, right?
We like that the blend isn’t overly sweet. That makes Marlee’s ideal for whiskey lovers to still taste the booze, but also for whiskey novices to gain an appreciation for the spirit.
As always when testing liquor, we tried it both neat and on the rocks. You can really taste the green tea in both scenarios.
Then we tried it again with lots of ice, a bit of club soda and a lemon wedge and it was amazingly refreshing.
Oxidants beware.
