Drink this if: A cuppa hot tea is what you need to soothe your nerves before finals week. This cocktail is truly cozy and warming: it packs a surprising amount of punch provided by the rum but is mellowed by the cream liqueur (I used horchata to give an extra touch of cinnamon). If you like your chai lattes “dirty,” add a tad of coffee liqueur, or espresso if you’d prefer a dose of caffeine over alcohol. This is an ideal drink to sip on while curled up with a good book or movie — give yourself a study break and enjoy this calming libation this week.
