This version of a traditional Arnold Palmer incorporates chai tea, cherry and lemon. The meeting of these flavors creates a triple threat of deliciousness in a mocktail that’s sweet, herbaceous and tart at the same time.

Ingredients

Cherry Syrup:

Honey Syrup:

Directions

  1. Combine the chai tea, Cherry Syrup, lemon juice and Honey Syrup in a shaker with ice and shake for 20 seconds. Strain into an ice-filled Collins glass with ice.
  2. For a garnish, alternate the cardamon pods and maraschino cherries on a cocktail pick, then wrap in a lemon twist. Or garnish with a lemon wedge

Cherry Syrup:

  1. Add the cherries to a blender and blend until completely smooth. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof bowl and set aside.
  2. Heat the sugar and 1/4 cup water in a small pan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved, then add the hot syrup to the cherry puree. Stir to combine. Let cool before using. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Honey Syrup:

  1. Mix the honey with 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring, until the honey is dissolved. Let cool. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
