Twelve in the New York Times
6 June 2007
No Alcohol, but a Sweet Little Buzz
A sophisticated nonalcoholic quaff is always welcome. Twelve is just such a refreshing newcomer, a fizzy tea-based drink seasoned with herbs, citrus and ginger and only a modest amount of sweetener.
It comes in a translucent 750-milliliter wine-style bottle and is classy over ice in a stem goblet. Adding a splash of vodka or dark rum and a wedge of orange gives it another dimension. Twelve makes a delectable partner for ripe melon—with ham early in the meal, or without for dessert.
