What we’re drinking
Tuaca, a vanilla-citrus liqueur that’s now on shelves in a high-tech new bottle designed by tattoo artist Corey Miller. His design is printed in “thermochromatic” ink — a fancy word that just means it changes color with the temperature. Avoid trying to namecheck this one too late into the night.
What it tastes like
Christmas with the cool side of your family. Italian brandies are blended with Madagascar vanilla and Mediterranean citrus fruits for a warm, smooth sip.
Drink it like this
Straight up and chilled (aka when the bottle turns blue).
Mix it with
Tuaca’s pretty versatile, and is right at home in fruity cocktails where you might usually add vodka (think pineapple and cranberry juice bases), lending a little hint of autumn. Or, go all out and use it to spike warm apple cider for a seriously cuddly cocktail.
