The Ultimate Fall Drink: Pumpkin Chai Martini
RecipesHow To Make a Pumpkin Chai Martini
‘Tis the season of classic horror movies, crunchy leaves and ominous (yet blurry) photos of the full moon…or at least that’s what your Instagram feed says. Whether or not that’s your vibe, we promise the scrolling will be more tolerable with a Pumpkin Chai Martini in hand.
It’s just like a pumpkin spice latte but with vodka—lots of vodka. Making it the ideal pregame for apple picking with your significant other (and getting attacked by a swarm of bees) or the perfect postgame after that terrifying haunted hayride.
