SPICED APRICOT HIGHBALL

Did you know you can use flavoured teas to create different highball variations? This Spiced Apricot Highball uses apricot and chai tea to create a delicate yet delicious syrup that marries beautifully with the butterscotch notes in Chivas XV. Simply add this sweet syrup to Scotch and soda for a refreshingly easy cocktail recipe.
