Fall calls for something cozy — and Mezcal Unión is answering with a smoky, spiced twist on the classic chai latte.
Made with chai-infused Mezcal Unión El Viejo, simple syrup, and barista-style oat milk, this creamy cocktail brings gentle warmth and a hint of smoke that perfectly bridges Oaxaca and autumn in New York.
It’s also the ideal sip to set the tone for the brand’s upcoming Bodega Unión pop-up at The Little Shop (October 24–25). Presented in partnership with Oaxaca’s acclaimed Selva bar, the two-day experience invites guests to shop Mexican goods before slipping into a speakeasy where Selva co-founder Alexandra Purcaru will be behind the bar serving unique cocktails, such as the floral Marigold & Wild Chamomile and Hoja Santa & Avocado Leaf, inspired by the traditions of Día de los Muertos.
Below, find the Mezcal Unión Chai Latte recipe and more information about the pop-up!
