Spice it up with Owl’s Brew

If fall had a taste, it would no doubt include flavors like cinnamon and cranberry. It explains why mulled beverages, which often incorporate these, are so popular this time of year. โ€œMulling means heating a drink in a pot with mulling spices and then straining,โ€ explains Jennie Ripps, co-founder and CEO of Owlโ€™s Brew, a company that makes hard tea seltzer. โ€œMulled beverages are most commonly made with a combination of spices including cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, allspice and dried fruit.โ€ From wine to tea to hot cider, mulled beverages made with this classic combination of spices can be traced back to the 2nd century, when the Romans traveled with heated and spiced wines, explains Ripps.

Perhaps their appeal is due in part to their incredible health benefits: They are antioxidant-rich and anti-inflammatory. โ€œCinnamon, cloves, cardamom, all possess antibacterial properties. Itโ€™s a pretty powerful combination of flavors and ingredients,โ€ says Ripps. For a modern take, Owlโ€™s Brew just launched their newest flavor, spiced chai and cranberry, this fall. โ€œThe inspiration came from mulling spices,โ€ says Ripps. โ€œItโ€™s the idea that we could create a delicious, clean boozy beverage that has that delicious blend of spices, but is refreshing and bubbly.โ€
