🍎 Ever wondered what fall tastes like in a glass?
I did. So I made it — the Spiced Apple Chai Fizz Mocktail.
Here's the truth about mocktails: skipping alcohol doesn't mean skipping flavor. That's the myth. Done right, a mocktail can feel just as festive and indulgent as the real thing — no downside required.
This one starts with naturally sweet, crisp apple c***r, layers in the boldness of chai tea, and finishes with the warmth of cinnamon. Real ingredients doing real work — supporting circulation, heart health, and digestion. It feels indulgent because it is, just without the trade-off.
🛟 Save this post so you've got the full recipe on hand next time you want something cozy in a glass.
🍎 Spiced Apple Chai Fizz
(serves 2)
Ingredients:
1 cup apple c***r, chilled
1/2 cup chai tea, strong, chilled
2 slices fresh ginger
2 cinnamon sticks
1 pod star anise
1/2 cup ginger b**r, chilled (or sparkling water)
1 oz ice
1 1/2 fl oz Zero Proof rum alternative
👩🏻🍳 Directions
Prep:
Brew 4 chai tea bags (or 1 tsp loose-leaf) in 1/2 cup hot water for 5–7 minutes.
Let it cool completely — chill in the fridge to speed things up.
Make:
1️⃣ In a small pitcher or shaker, combine the apple c***r, cooled chai tea, ginger, cinnamon sticks, and star anise.
2️⃣ Stir well and let it sit for 5–10 minutes to deepen the flavor. Refrigerate overnight if you want it stronger — patience pays off here.
3️⃣ Fill two glasses with ice. Strain and pour the mixture evenly into each glass.
4️⃣ Top with 1/4 cup ginger b**r per glass (or sparkling water). Stir gently.
5️⃣ Add non-alcoholic rum if you're feeling it, and garnish with a thin apple slice and an extra cinnamon stick.
That's fall in a glass. No compromise.
