Kinsman Rakia 2019 Brandy Alexander Tour: Ocho at Hotel Havana's Brandy-Filled Horchata

Things take a Caribbean approach at Ocho inside Hotel Havana where new Food and Beverage Director Will Weaver utilizes Kinsman and aged rum to create his Brandy Alexander.

Served in a rocks glass over ice, Ocho’s Brandy Alexander combines Kinsman Rakia, añejo rum, sweet vermouth, cinnamon simple and Crème de Cacao. After a few good shakes, the tipple is poured over ice and topped with a healthy dash of cinnamon and a cinnamon stick.

The result is a boozy horchata of sorts, perfect for sipping on the patio as you overlook the San Antonio River Walk in all its holiday glory. Try one now through December 31!
