Somrus Chai Cream is an Indian-inspired cream liqueur that captures the flavours of masala chai. Somrus is made by The House of Somrus, a company founded in 2014 in Burr Ridge, near Chicago, to bring the flavours of India to cream liqueur. It is built on five-times-distilled Caribbean rum and real Wisconsin dairy cream, and bottled at 13.5% ABV.
It is flavoured with cardamom, pistachio, almond, rose, saffron and turmeric, a blend inspired by the spiced teas and sweets of India.
The fresh dairy cream entry brings cinnamon, pistachio and cardamom, followed by gentle saffron and rose and a warm, creamy finish.
It is a soothing, aromatic sipper, lovely over ice or stirred into hot tea or coffee.
Its golden, mesh-patterned bottle makes it a beautiful gift for Diwali and the holidays.

How to Enjoy It
Serve Somrus Chai Cream well chilled over ice, or stir it into hot chai or black tea for a spiked masala chai. It makes a 'Chaitini' shaken with vodka and garnished with a dusting of cinnamon, and a cosy addition to hot coffee or hot chocolate. Blend it with vanilla ice cream into a chai milkshake, or pour it over kulfi, rice pudding or a slice of spice cake. Pair it with Indian sweets such as gulab jamun and barfi, or with shortbread and biscotti. Because it is a cream liqueur, keep it cool and refrigerate after opening.
