Vanilla Cardamom Old Fashioned Recipe

This recipe captures everything we love about our Vanilla & Cardamom Deodorant scent in a super festive take on a classic cocktail. It's a little extra work to prep the chai simple syrup, but you can make it in advance and it's worth the effort for the reward of sensational aromatics and flavors. If you're hosting a holiday get together, put these on the menu.
