This Chai Spiced Horchata, or as I like to call it, the Chai-Chata is the perfect fall cocktail. Its creamy texture, warm spices and bit of aged rum will make you feel all warm and cozy inside. It’s dairy free and can easily be batched for a party.

Campari is the most iconic Italian aperitif. It’s bright red color is unmistakable and its bracing bitterness offers the perfect complexity to cocktails when used right.

If you guys have been following me on YouTube or Instagram, you know that I am obsessed with butterfly pea flowers. When I first got them, my very first idea was to try and make an all-natural Blue Curaçao. I don’t like using food coloring in my baking or liqueur making because honestly, it feels like cheating! There is also lots of very unnatural things in food coloring too that I would rather steer clear from.

Falernum is a must have ingredient for any tiki enthusiast. It hails from Barbados and has been used in cocktails since at least the 1800s. Just by using a tiny bit, Falernum offers depth and just an almost imperceptible spice that really balances out the sometimes cloyingly sweet and overly boozy tiki cocktails. There is no real definitive recipe for Falernum, but each recipe I’ve seen calls for over proof rum, sugar, lime, almond and clove.
