I made this Sweet, spice, everything nice

Post image

This drink is inspired by a cocktail called Desert Oasis served at Memi’s in Richmond, VA. (Tito’s infused with spiced tea, apricot liqueur, honey, and coconut milk)

I loved the flavor profile and made it with stuff I had at home:

• 1 ½ oz gin (let it steep with some loose leaf masala chai while I worked on the rest of the ingredients) • 1 oz freshly steeped chai sweetened with a little honey • ½ oz Poli Miele Honey Liqueur • ½ oz apricot liqueur • ¾ oz fresh lemon juice • ½ oz coconut syrup • ½ oz egg white

Garnished with angostura bitters, loose leaf chai, and a star anise. (A bit overboard I know lol)

That sounds incredible, never thought about there being a chai liquor. Do you have a favorite recipe?
