Mix it up: Mulling Spices 5 Ways
Fall is in the air! This week on 'Mix It Up!', we're shaking up 5 different cocktails with our Mulling Spices (Chai, Cranberry and Apple).
Let's be honest, st-home cocktails far too often fall into three main categories: the lackluster 'vodka-soda-splash- cran', confusing craft-cocktails that call for an assortment of random (sometimes expensive!) ingredients, or the dreaded single use store-bought cocktail mixer.
We think that there should be an easier way to make a variety of cocktails, easily. Each of our tea-based cocktail-mixers are versatile, and can be made into a wide assortment of cocktails and mocktails, depending on your mood, preferences or occasion.
Here's to something for everyone!
