Chia Holiday Cocktails from The Noble Experiment

There is one holiday treat that is almost better than sugar cookies. Cocktails! Chia Holiday Cocktails!

This year we said no to the same old holiday cocktail menu and yes to new creations that include chia! So we called up mixologist Andrew over at The Noble Experiment, one of California’s finest speakeasies, to help us craft three Mamma Chia inspired cocktails.

We promise they’ll make your season far brighter than any lights strung from the roof top!

One of the hardest bars to locate, you’ll find The Noble Experiment hidden in a San Diego Gaslamp Quarter restaurant called Neighborhood. Tucked behind a wall of beer kegs, the prohibition era bar is a secret known to many. Serving only pre-prohibition liquor, they spend their nights mixing up hand-crafted works of art for each patron in one of their 35 seats.

Cheers!

1oz creme de cacao

Salvia Hispanica is the Holiday banger. It’s a nice milky Mexican chocolate
