Advice
Use big, clear ice and stir no longer than 20 seconds โ perfect chill with minimal dilution.
Why it works: A spiced syrup carries chai flavor without grit; large ice slows melt, while orange oils + bitters snap the warm spices into balance.
Twist: Swap whisky for dark rum or ghee-washed whisky for extra silk; go zero-proof with strong black-tea concentrate in place of spirits.
