Spiced Chai Martini
This masala chai martini is a lovely way to enjoy the flavors of chai tea in the form of an elegant cocktail. Homemade chai concentrate blends smoothly with vodka, and a hint of lemon juice adds a refreshing flavor.

- 2 fl oz vodka
- 1 fl oz chai concentrate cooled
- ½ fl oz lemon juice
- Dash of ground cinnamon
- Ice cubes as needed
For the rim:
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoon sugar
Mix the ground cinnamon and sugar together and place it on a small dish. Rub the rim of the chilled glass with lime and roll it in the cinnamon sugar.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
Add vodka, chai tea concentrate (or cooled brewed chai tea), fresh lemon juice, and a dash of ground cinnamon to the shaker.
Shake the mixture vigorously for about 30 seconds to chill the ingredients.
Pour the mixture into a martini glass.
Top with a cinnamon stick and serve immediately.
I have not used any syrup in this cocktail as the chai concentrate has a sweetener in it. However, for a sweeter drink, use simple syrup or spiced ginger syrup.
