chai caramel apple martini
Creamy, pretty, sweet little drink to welcome in the weekend and the holidays.
Ingredients
- 1 cup apple cider
- 3 chai tea bags
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 oz caramel vodka
- 1/2 oz heavy cream
- 2-3 tbsp apple chai syrup
- 1 egg white (optional)
- cinnamon sugar and star anise, for garnish
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, bring the apple cider to a boil. Remove from heat and toss in the chai tea bags. Steep 15 minutes.
- Discard the bags and stir in the honey. Bring to a boil until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Let cool. This makes enough for 6-8 drinks.
- In a shaker, combine the caramel vodka, syrup, heavy cream, and egg white (if using). Dry shake vigorously for 1 minute, then add ice and shake for 20-30 seconds. Strain into a martini or rocks glass. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and add a star anise, if desired.
