Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Can we take a moment and appreciate this Frozen Chai Martini, “Chaitini” or “Mocktini” if you will? If its getting warm where you live, then you need to make this asap! It is fragrant with spices like cardamom and cinnamon and aromatic with ginger. The perfect non-alcoholic beverage to pre-game with keeps you alert thanks to the tea and with no need for dairy.

Why Chai Martini (Chaitini)?

I love chai and all things chai-infused so when I saw Kendall Jenner make Chaitini on her TikTok, I just knew I had to do a mocktail version, although this one isn’t trying to be an alcoholic drink. It’s just a fun drink to have.

What you’ll need to make Vegan Frozen Chai Martini

Base Ingredients for Frozen Chai Martini

  • 2 cups Water (480 ml)
  • 2-3 tsp Loose tea leaves black tea
  • 1/2 cup oat/soy milk 160 ml
  • Brown sugar to taste

Whole Spices

  • 4-5 Whole green cardamom
  • 2-3 Black peppercorns
  • 4-5 Whole cloves
  • 1 stick Cinnamon

Aromatics

  • 1 inch Ginger

Optional:

  • If you want to make this drink taste like a mocktail then add a couple shots of NA tequila or seedlip
  • If you want to make this drink alcoholic then add 2 ounces of tequila or 2 ounces of Vodka

Ingredients and subs:

Vegan milk: I prefer soy milk or oat milk for this. You can also use almond milk.

Black tea: You can sub the loose leaves with chai tea-bags

Whole Spices: Cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, star anise, black pepper. You can choose to not use whichever spice is not available to you from this list. Sometimes I just add cardamom and it’s delicious.

Aromatics: This is where the recipe takes to the next level. Lemongrass and Ginger. These two bad boys here make this Vegan Chai extremely fragrant and delicious. The flavor punch! You can skip these if it ain’t available.

How to make Frozen Chai Martini?

For this recipe, we are making a Masala Chai without the milk and adding the milk later when blending to make the frozen drink. This Chaitini is all about those spices and good quality black tea leaves. Drop into your local Indian store.

Steps to make the chai first:

  • Start by crushing your whole spices in a mortar and pestle.
  • Then add the sliced ginger to the mortar and crush that as well.
  • Add the spices and aromatics to a pan with water in it and bring to a boil.
  • Once it starts boiling, add the tea leaves and bring down the heat.
  • Let it get to the strength of infusion you want, and turn off the heat.

Make the Chai ice cubes:

  • Let the chai cool down completely and then pour it into an ice-cube tray and let it set.
  • Once you are ready to make the frozen chaitini, take out the ice and add it to a blender.
  • Pour 1/2 cup of soy/oat milk into the blender as well and blend it.
  • Ideally, you should have an icy blend.
  • Pour it into martini glasses.
  • Garnish with a dust of cinnamon and cinnamon sticks. Enjoy!
  • Serve with snacks like Pazham Pori, Samosas or Aloo Tikki!
