I had the pleasure of attending an Indian wedding over a decade ago, and it was an experience I’ll never forget. There were over 300 guests and the post-ceremony reception was absolutely spectacular. The buffets of food were like mountains, and the seating tables stretched as far as the eye could see, spread with plates and flowers and pitcher after pitcher of chai tea. Talk about a feast for the senses! This recipe is my humble attempt at recreating that glorious day and one of the most delicious drinks I’ve ever had.
Yields six 8-oz. servings.

Christy’s Cocktail
August 15th, 2008 — Drinks
A cafe near my house sells the most delicious soda I’ve had in years: Boylan Bottleworks Root Beer. Caffeine-free, with the perfect bite, I’ve gotten into the habit of stopping by and having one occasionally as a treat. Lately though I find myself wanting to bring one or two (or more) home. Why? Because I’ve discovered the best-tasting and perhaps least-known cocktail ever, and decided to name it after the person who loves it most. Me. I don’t drink a lot of liqueur, but when the mood strikes I like nothing better than a wee snifter of sambuca. Thick and slightly syrupy, with the pungent taste of black jelly beans. Ahhhh. I never imagined I could top the pleasure either brings me individually, but when combined, oh my. Sweet (though not cloying), faintly exotic, and deceptively strong, this is my ideal cocktail.
Serves one.
