Stroke of Midnight
This elegant cocktail is made with spiced rum, freshly squeezed lemon, and a spritz of sparkling wine. It also features our Caribbean Citrus Chile Rub along with maple extract, orange blossom water, and a dash of fresh nutmeg. Recipe and photo courtesy of @weekndcookbook.
January Kiss
This coffee-based cocktail has a sweet, floral side to it, thanks to a simple syrup made with our premium Lavender Vanilla Sugar. Recipe and photo courtesy of @weekndcookbook.
Eve Extravaganza
If you have ever had a Jungle Bird cocktail, you'll love this luxurious version that's spiced with orange blossom water and powdered Spanish saffron. Recipe and photo courtesy of @weekndcookbook.
Chocolate Martini
While this drink isn't a traditional martini by any means, we think its chocolaty, coffee flavor profile make some traditions worth breaking. Pick out your favorite bar of dark chocolate for a shaved chocolate garnish.
Hot Buttered Rum
Think of this cocktail as the indulgent cousin of the Hot Toddy. Real butter, brown sugar, fine rum, and a pinch of our Pumpkin Spice make this the perfect beverage for a wild night in.
Cardamom-Ginger Martini
This drink became an instant classic the minute Spice House General Manager Chasity Marini created it. The fresh rosemary sprig in the shaker bruises perfectly, releasing the perfect amount of essential oils into the drink. There are delicious notes of cardamom and fresh ginger to be savored before snacking on the crystalized ginger garnish.
CARDAMOM-GINGER MARTINI RECIPE
Vanilla Bean Old Fashioned Cocktail
The standard old fashioned cocktail is simple; bourbon, cherry, sugar, orange peel, and bitters. Adding a Tahitian vanilla bean to the mix provides fruity complexity to this otherwise standard cocktail recipe.
Electric Lemon Martini
Instead of plugging this into a wall socket, this cocktail gets a shocking lift from our premium Sansho Japanese peppercorns. These rare peppercorns have a delightfully lemony flavor and produce a pleasant numbing effect on the pallet.
Hazelnut Cardamom Bourbon Hot Cocoa
Hazelnut hot cocoa with a bit of fresh cardamom sophistication and a tot of bourbon for good measure. This recipe is written for two, as this rich, boozy cocoa is best enjoyed with good company.
