Ingredients

  • 1.5 ounces Square One Organic Vodka infused with Numi Organic Ruby Chai
  • 1.5 ounces Organic Apple Cider infused with Numi Organic Ruby Chai
  • .5 ounces Organic Agave Nectar (amber is preferred)
  • 1/4 organic Gala Apple

Directions

  • Cut the apple in half, just of center leaving the stem on. Then slice the core out just to the other side of the stem. Reserve core slice for garnish. Cut one quarter of the apple into pieces, removing the seeds and core. In a mixing glass, muddle into apple sauce consistency. Add Agave Nectar Square One, Cider and ice. Shake for 10 seconds and strain up into a chilled cocktail glass. Head should be frothy and creamy. Garnish with the apple core slice on the rim or floating.
  • Use 1 bag of tea per each 6 ounces of liquid, infusing the vodka cold for an hour or two and heating the cider and infusing for 3-5 minutes if you're making this drink at home as a one-off. To batch-prep for an at-home party, prepare the two infusions as detailed below.
  • Ruby Chai-Infused Square One Vodka:In a mason jar or other glass sealable container add contents of a 750 ml bottle of Square One and 6 bags of Numi Ruby Chai Tea. Let infuse for 1-2 hours. Remove the bags and squeeze excess vodka. Pour the infused vodka back into a Square One bottle. Use a labeler to mark your bottle.
  • Ruby Chai-infused Apple Cider: Pour cider into a sauce pan and heat (try not to boil). Turn off the heat and add 1 bag of Numi Ruby Chai Tea per 6 ounces of cider. Let steep for 3-5 minutes and remove the tea bags, squeezing back any remaining liquid. Pour spiced cider into an easy-to-pour bottle (another de-labled Square One bottle looks nice).
