Downton Abbey: Pre-Premiere Tea Or Post-Premiere Discussion?

Booksellers, R. J. Julia in Madison is trying to decide ... what do you think?

I say ... both. For the pre-premiere tea we could get what we need at nearby Savvy Tea. For the post-premiere discussion, Downton Abbey Cocktails, perhaps? Where can we get St. Germain elderflower liqueur?
