There Is A Light That Never Goes Out

A delicious fall-spiced riff on Trader Vic’s classic Port Light
The spices in the chai tea work wonderfully with the baking spice, vanilla, and oak notes in the bourbon, while the drier column still aged rum adds comforting notes of caramelized sugar. The honey and lemon are classic pairings with tea and the tart/sweet notes of the passionfruit provide a nice counterpoint. The splash of vanilla liqueur and the cinnamon and ginger notes in the Tiki bitters add complementary flavors while the egg white adds body/foam
