The wind has picked up and the sun sets early. Was there ever a better time for a hot and savory cup of something that has a hint of warm desert air brewed into it? Try some spiked Turkish coffee. This aromatic delight sparks lively conversation all over the Middle East with its notes of cardamon, the smoothness of cream, and the kick of vodka. You’ll forget all about winter and its fabled blues. And a lot of other needless things, as well. Cheers!

Spiked Cardamon Coffee

2 oz parts vodka

2 oz parts fresh espresso

1/2 oz part cardamom simple syrup

1/2 oz of cream

pinch of all spice
