Santa's Night Cap #Christmas

I’m sharing my last Christmas Drink Saturday publish a day early. I desired to provide you guys time to absolutely put together and plan for those cocktails the next day, due to the fact believe me, you want them for your life this Christmas Eve.

These are essentially a very um, well, naughty Chai tea spiked with a great quantity of bourbon, cinnamon, and ginger. this is the perfect nightcap for Santa to heat as much as after his very busy night time…or for the relaxation people “normal” people to drink even as relaxing by way of the tree, sitting with the aid of the fire playing board games, or simply watching a good Christmas movie with a heat cocktail in hand. pretty sure the own family is already searching forward to this second.

I made a batch on Wednesday and it was gone by the time all of us went to mattress. told you, we have a few extreme chai and bourbon drinkers inside the residence…plus there are approximately twelve humans (with more at the manner) currently dozing at my determine’s house, so doing away with food and cocktails is a pretty smooth issue to do proper now.
