About This Cocktail

The Hot Apple Chai-der is a steaming, spiced escape where chai, cider and dark spirits intertwine to warm your hands on a crisp autumn night.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz aged rum or bourbon (depending on preference)
  • 6 oz hot apple cider
  • 4 oz strong brewed chai tea (unsweetened)
  • 1 oz honey syrup (1:1 honey and hot water)

Instructions

  1. Brew chai tea double strength and allow it to chill to remove temperature (Avoid measuring hot ingredients).
  2. Combine the chai tea and apple cider in a small pot, kettle or electric kettle and heat until hot.
  3. In a heatproof mug, combine chai and cider with honey syrup and spirit.
  4. Stir gently to blend and dissolve honey.
  5. Garnish with a cinnamon stick and star anise.
