Chai White Russian
Vodka
The Chai White Russian is a cozy twist on the beloved classic that swaps out plain cream for a blend of cream and chai tea concentrate. The chai adds layers of cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and clove that play beautifully against the coffee liqueur's rich sweetness, while vodka keeps everything smooth and balanced. Cream (or your preferred milk substitute) rounds out the drink with a silky texture that makes it feel indulgent without being heavy. Stirred over a large ice cube in a lowball glass, it's the kind of drink that works equally well as a dessert cocktail or a cozy nightcap.

- 1 oz vodka
- 1 oz coffee liqueur (see notes for a homemade recipe)
