Pumpkin Chai Coffee

 my recipe for a Pumpkin Chai Coffee:




    • 5 1/2 oz coffee

    • 1/2 oz Voyant Chai Liqueur

    • 1/2 oz Pumpkin Pie Liqueur

In a coffee cup, pour in all of your ingredients, stir and heat until it’s comfortable for you to drink!  You can add whipped cream on top, which I would have done if the kids hadn’t used it all and put the empty can back in the fridge.

Apple Cider Cocktail


 


Apple Brandy Drink 3 thumb


 


Apples have always been a favorite of mine. If you asked me when I was in 1st grade what my favorite food was, I probably would have told you it’s apples. I loved them as a kid – and still do as an adult. I feel like apple is always a trusty flavor to choose – you can’t go wrong with an apple pie (or any apple filled pastry).


Prep Time: 5 minutes


Total Time: 5 minutes




Yield: 2 drinks



Serving Size: 1 drink






Ingredients:



  • 1/2 cup apple cider

  • 3 oz brandy

  • 1/4 cup ginger ale

  • Apple slices to garnish (optional)

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour in apple cider, brandy and apple brandy. Shake until well chilled and strain into two ice filled glasses. Top each glass with ginger ale to fill. Stir gently to combine. If desired, garnish with an apple slice.

Spicy Mango Margarita

AA1


At a Glance:



Prep Time:

10 minutes

Servings:

1



We’ve kicked up the typical south-of-the-border cocktail with the tropical flavor of mango and a sassy punch of spice. Use one pepper for a gentle burn, or two peppers if you really like it hot.



Ingredients:


1 Tbsp coarse sugar (such as turbinado or demarera sugar)

1 Tbsp kosher salt

1 tsp ground cayenne pepper

1 or 2 Lindsay® Hot Chili Peppers

1 tsp coarse sugar (such as turbinado or demarera sugar)

1-1/2 oz reposado tequila

1-1/2 oz Cointreau (or other orange liqueur)

2 oz mango juice

1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice

Fresh mint, for garnish



Directions:


Stir together the salt, sugar, and cayenne in a small bowl. Transfer to a saucer or a small plate and set aside.


Salt the rim of an old fashioned glass: Wet the rim of the glass in a saucer of water, then dip the moistened rim in the prepared spicy salt mixture. Fill the prepared glass to the rim with ice.


In a cocktail shaker, muddle the hot chili peppers with the coarse sugar until the sugar crystals dissolve and the peppers are a rough pulp. Add the tequila, Cointreau, mango juice, and lime juice to the shaker; add ice and shake until well chilled.


Strain through a fine strainer into the prepared old fashioned glass. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.
