User blog:Asnow89/Guided Tour: Spring Cocktail Trends

 This year we are taken a turn from egg-white cocktails, fresh herbs in drinks, and fruity syrups to a whole new world of cocktail trends. From umami cocktails to beer ice cream popsicles, we have a few fun cocktail trends in store for you. With the help of Wikia's resident drink experts, we present the next "it" cocktails of 2014.

We're not talking Long Islands here. We are exploring the new world of tea mixology. Keep your eye out for "tea-tails" because they are the next big thing on the drink scene.

The Lemon Tea Fizz has freshly brewed Black Darjeeling tea, ginger syrup, gin, and sparkling water. Our favorite part of this recipe is the homemade tea ice cubes (recipe included). Another fun "teatail" is the Dutch Green Tea cocktail, which is the ultimate refresher, with green tea, fresh lemon juice, agave nectar, elderflower liqueur, and VodkaHerb.

For something a little bit different, would you fancy a Mar-TEA-ni? Cocktails admin, Sings-With-Spirits, said, "One trend I’m observing is a return to the classics… with a twist." A Marteani is, you guessed it, a martini with a tea twist.
