Poppycocks' Crystal Chai Margarita

Bottoms Up

Things are getting warm and cozy at Poppycocks in Traverse City thanks to lead mixologist Emily Bryant's newest cocktail, the Crystal Chai Margarita. This autumnal flavor bomb blends traditional Masala chai—that’s black tea brewed with aromatic spices, like ginger, clove, and cardamom—with the classic margarita (Lunazul Blanco tequila, Cointreau, fresh lime juice, and agave nectar). For an extra touch of complexity, it’s also clarified; in this case, removing unwanted impurities and particles with a wash of milk. This creates a crystal-clear sip with a rounded viscosity and silky mouth-feel. Rimmed with spiced peppercorn, sea salt, and sugar, and garnished with a cinnamon stick, it’s a little sweet, a little spicy, and 100 percent perfect for fall.
