Description

A cozy and sophisticated non-alcoholic martini infused with warm chai spices, creamy vanilla, and a hint of cinnamon. This Wild Cinnamon Chai Mocktini is perfect for fall gatherings, holiday parties, or a relaxing night in.

Ingredients
    For the Chai Syrup
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 chai tea bag (or 1 tbsp loose-leaf chai)
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract
    • For the Mocktini
  • 2 oz strong brewed black tea (cooled)
  • 1 oz chai syrup (prepared earlier)
  • 1 oz vanilla coffee creamer (or oat milk for a dairy-free option)
  • ½ oz cinnamon syrup (optional for extra warmth)
  • ½ oz coconut milk (for a creamy texture)
  • Ice cubes
    • For Garnish
  • Ground cinnamon (for dusting)
  • Cinnamon stick (for stirring and decoration)
  • Star anise (optional for a decorative touch)
Instructions
    Prepare the Chai Syrup
  1. 1
    In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the chai tea bag and let it steep for 5 minutes. If using loose-leaf chai, strain after steeping. Stir in honey (or maple syrup), ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Let the syrup cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
    2. Mix the Mocktini
  2. 2
    Fill a cocktail shaker (or a mason jar with a lid) with ice. Add strong brewed black tea, chai syrup, vanilla creamer, cinnamon syrup (if using), and coconut milk. Shake well for about 15 seconds until frothy.
    3. Serve and Garnish
  3. 3
    Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass. Lightly dust the top with ground cinnamon. Garnish with a cinnamon stick and a star anise for an elegant touch.
Note

Storage Tip: Chai syrup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Dairy-Free Option: Use oat milk or coconut cream instead of vanilla coffee creamer.

Sweeter Variation: Add an extra drizzle of maple syrup before shaking.

Iced Version: Serve over crushed ice instead of shaking.
