[Honestly? Evelyn's knowledge of alcohol is fairly limited. Men drink Scotch Whisky and Bourbon and rum. Sometimes beer. Women drink Brandy and wine. Occasionally, these stereotypes cross over to the other side. She is also fully aware that she has a tolerance of spirits very close to zero. At least, she did the last time she checked. Which was some party back in university. A while ago. Things might have changed between now and then.
She watches him fix the drink curiously. It seems a strange brew, but gin and tonic has created a pleasant mix before, and at the turn of the century everyone was drinking distillation of wormwood. What harm could sweetened tea and rum possibly be? It seems rather like a Hot Toddy.
Tentatively picking up the cup, she takes a wary sip and is pleasantly surprised.]
...this is quite good, actually. Where did you learn how to make it?
[Such alcoholic prowess! Mister Booze Hunter would be so proud.]
