Apres dinner chai-tini

8/9/2016

0 Comments

 
I love a good chai. There is something about the smooth, creamy, spicy, earthy goodness that soothes my soul. I've had many different varieties and brands in my 37 (sigh) years, but I most recently tried Zhena's Coconut Chai. I mean really, chai and coconut? Two of my favorite things brought together! Why didn't I think of that myself??

Since I've been experimenting with tea-tinis, I thought why not try it with this tea. But unfortunately, it didn't pack the spicy punch I was after. The first chai-tea-tini was a bit flat. So, I went back to the Maharani simple syrup I posted about back in February. That cocktail took a different spin, using rum and fresh lime juice. This one uses that same simple syrup, but the end result is utterly different. If you like creamy desserts and after-dinner cocktails that taste like dessert, this one's for you!

Ingredients
  • 1.5 jiggers vodka
  • 1.5 jiggers Maharani simple syrup
  • 1 jigger coconut milk (I love the Thai organic brand, not shaken!)
  • Cinnamon stick and turbinado sugar for garnish

To make the syrup
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup white sugar (or 1/2 cup brown)
  • 6 drops Clove essential oil
  • 6 drops Cinnamon Bark essential oil
  • 6 drops Cardamom essential oil
  • 6 drops Ginger essential oil
  • 6 drops Black Pepper essential oil

Method
  • Make your simple syrup by combining sugar and water in a sauce pan. Allow to boil and stir to dissolve the sugar. When cool add in essential oils and shake. 
  • Combine fresh ice and all ingredients in a shaker 
  • Shake it all about
  • Make cinnamon & cardmom sugar by adding one drop of each essential oil to about a 1/4 cup of turbinado sugar. Stir or shake to combine. Rim glass. 
  • Strain shaker into your glass and garnish with cinnamon stick
  • Sip and contemplate the rain :)
