Kefir is a great curveball ingredient for drinks that need acidity and tangy balance. This recipe is designed for curling up on the couch on a cool autumn evening.

Ingredients
  

  • 1½ ounces Bully Boy the Rum Cooperative Vol. 1
  • ½ ounce Fernet Branca
  • 1 ounce kefir
  • 1 ounce chai concentrate*
  • ½ ounce demerara simple syrup**
  • Fresh mint for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Combine ingredients in cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds, strain over fresh ice into a 12-ounce glass. Garnish with fresh mint sprig. Makes 1 cocktail.
    *Chai concentrate: For convenience, store-bought chai concentrates like Rishi and Tazo work well. For homemade, simply double the amount of chai tea bags required according to package directions.
    **Demerara simple syrup: Place 1 cup demerara (or turbinado) sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepot over medium heat until sugar is dissolved, stirring occasionally. Cool and funnel into a glass jar; refrigerate up to 2 weeks.
