Chai Obsession
Chai is such an interesting beverage. In India, it’s a way of life. Almost everywhere you go you will see people drinking the sweet beverage. In America, it’s more known as a flavor of tea with notes of cinnamon or cardamom. What people don’t know is that chai is not a flavor of tea, it is tea. Chai literally translates to “tea” in Hindi. You learn something new every day!

A delicious cocktail that combines a bunch of different flavors to create a refreshing and unique taste. If you’re a fan of Chai we highly recommend giving this a try.
