I’m making a Chai Infused Bourbon Cocktail using Wolcott Kentucky Straight Bourbon from Total Wine!
Chai Infused Bourbon Cocktail

- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, plus mint sprigs, for garnish
- 5 ice cubes
Instructions
- Combine bourbon and tea bags in a 1-quart mason jar. Let steep 15 minutes. Discard tea bags (or strain mixture, if using loose tea, and return infused bourbon to jar).
