The Epcot International Festival of the Arts kicked off earlier this month. But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy a taste of the inaugural Orlando event from home.

During a sneak peek of Festival of the Arts, us media folk left with a couple recipes for what we sampled throughout the day, including what the Epcot camp has dubbed "Deconstructed Breakfast."

The adult version of this Twinings Spiced Apple Chai Tea Shake, featured in the recipe below, calls for maple bourbon cream. A company known as Brown Jug Spirits makes the one CL tasted at the media preview.

If you end up at the celebration of culinary and visual arts (open now through Feb. 20), you'll find the deliciously garnished drink at the E = AT^2 food studio.
