Introducing the Black Tai cocktail - a delightful twist on the classic Mai Tai that combines the roasty and floral flavors of Thai tea with the sweetness of lime cordial and the nutty essence of tahini orgeat. Here's how to make it:

Ingredients:

• 2 oz Thai tea rum (see recipe below)
• 1 oz whole lime cordial
• 0.5 oz tahini orgeat
• 0.5 oz coffee liqueur (homemade)
• 2 dashes of orange bitters (Angostura)
• 2 dashes of 20% saline
• Lime wheel and coffee beans for garnish

Thai Tea Rum:

• 2 oz white rum (Plantation 3 Stars)
• 1/2 tbsp black tea leaves
• Vanilla extract
• Ground cardamom
• Turmeric
• Five spice mix

Instructions:

1. Begin by making the Thai Tea Rum. Combine the white rum, black tea leaves, vanilla extract, ground cardamom, turmeric, and five-spice mix in a jar or bottle. Let it sit for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse. Once ready, strain the mixture through a coffee filter and set aside.
2. Combine the Thai Tea Rum, lime cordial, tahini orgeat, coffee liqueur, orange bitters, and 20% saline in a shaker. Add ice to the shaker and shake well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
3. Strain the mixture over cracked ice into a double rocks glass.
4. Garnish with a lime wheel and coffee beans, and serve immediately.
5. Sip sustainably. Sip with imPASTA straw. 😉
