Spiced Chai White Russian — A Colorado Twist on a Classic
When the evenings turn crisp and the scent of woodsmoke drifts through the valley, there’s no better way to wind down than with something smooth, spiced, and distinctly local. Meet our Spiced Chai White Russian — a Colorado-crafted take on the classic that’s as cozy as a fireside night in Meeker.
Built with three Colorado favorites — Mythology Vodka, Mythology Coffee Liqueur, and Grove Street Chai Liqueur — this cocktail layers indulgent flavor with a dash of hometown pride.
And yes — the glassware we used to craft it is available at White River Liquor. Just ask us about it!

Colorado Craft in Every Pour
Mythology Distillery — Steamboat Springs, CO
Born in the Rockies, Mythology Distillery crafts small-batch spirits inspired by adventure and Colorado’s wild beauty. Their vodka and coffee liqueur are clean, smooth, and mountain-made — perfect for this modern twist on a classic.
We’re proud to carry a wide selection of Mythology spirits here at White River Liquor, from their award-winning whiskeys to seasonal releases that showcase true Colorado craftsmanship.
Grove Street Alchemy — Longmont, CO
Handcrafted by bartenders who wanted authentic, all-natural flavor, Grove Street liqueurs use real ingredients and non-GMO spirits. Their Chai Liqueur adds the perfect layer of warmth — cinnamon, cardamom, and clove — for a cozy, spiced finish.
We also stock many other Grove Street favorites, from citrus-bright liqueurs to deep, rich coffee and herbal blends — all Colorado-made and built for creative cocktails.

How to Make It
Fill a rocks glass with ice. Add Mythology Vodka, Mythology Coffee Liqueur, and Grove Street Chai Liqueur. Slowly pour cream over the back of a spoon for that layered look — or stir gently for a marbled swirl.
Each sip blends creamy sweetness with roasted coffee depth and a whisper of chai spice. It’s cozy, local, and absolutely delicious.

Food Pairings
This cocktail’s rich coffee-and-cream base with warm chai spice makes it a natural pairing for:
Desserts: Tiramisu, spiced carrot cake, crème brûlée, or a simple sugar cookie — anything with a hint of vanilla or cinnamon.
Chocolate: Try it with dark chocolate truffles or chocolate-covered espresso beans for an indulgent combo.
Holiday favorites: Pumpkin pie, pecan pie, or gingerbread bring out the chai’s aromatic spice beautifully.
Savory twist: For something unexpected, pair with a creamy brie or aged gouda to balance sweet with savory.
