Behind the Bar with Chado - Gingerbread Nightcap Cocktail
There’s something magical about Christmas evenings with the glow of tinkling lights, the smell of cookies baking, and the irresistible craving for something warm, comforting, and just a tiny bit indulgent. This year, we’re leaning into the Christmas spirit with a cocktail that tastes like dessert in a cup: The Gingerbread Nightcap.
Inspired by the nostalgic flavors of the classic holiday cookie, this tea-based cocktail blends together rich spices, smooth rum, and the star of the season: Chado’s signature Christmas tea, Gingerbread Cookie. It’s the perfect sip for winding down after a day of festive bustle or raising a glass with friends as you toast to the spirit of Christmas.
