Back to dreary cold winter nights. But we’ve got just thing to spice up your week! A Chai Honey Old Fashion from the folks over at The Artful Desperado.
What you’ll need:
- Bourbon (dealers choice)
- Lose leaf chai tea or teabag (no powder nonsense!)
- 1 orange
- 2 teaspoons honey
- Orange bitters or regular Angostura bitters
- Club soda (optional)
The first thing you want to do is get your bourbon nice and infused. You only need one tea bag for about a cup of bourbon. I used three. It was a grave mistake. Learn from my mistake, use one. And then let your bourbon and chai chill out for a couple of hours until you are happy with the level of chai-ness. I’d start at 2 hours and check it out from there.
Then in a shaker put ice, 2 oz. chai infused bourbon, 2 teaspoons honey, 3 dashes of bitters and a nice size piece or orange rind. Shake it up until the honey is dissolved and the orange releases it’s sent. And voilà!
Cheers friends!
