One of our favorite morning beverages is a London Fog. When one of our guest entrances to our Annual 'Nog Off did a take on a London Fog 'Nog, we realized what a happy pairing our Heirloom Wheat Whiskey makes with Earl Grey. In harmony with the abundance of spring and early summer wild flowers this year, this recipe pays homage to the Colorado mountainsides that seemed to explode with color, due to this year's uncanny London-like weather.
