Meghan Markle’s Vegan Holiday Cocktail

Meghan Markle is a known animal lover so its’ not surprising that she likes dairy-free cocktails! In a 2015 interview with Grazia, before she married Prince Harry, Markle shared the recipe for a vegan cocktail! Inspired by hosting “Christmas with friends,” here’s the recipe for the Almond Milk Spiced Holiday Cocktail.

Her recipe is as follows, per Grazia:

• 4 cups unsweetened almond milk 
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 tsp. cardamom
• 1 tsp. powdered ginger
• 1/2 tsp. clove
• 6-8 dried dates, soaked in water
• favorite bourbon
• cinnamon stick garnish

Blend all ingredients except the alcohol into a blender and then pour into a small saucepan. Heat at a low temperature and then add 4-6 ounces of bourbon to the pan. Pour into individual cups to serve once heated.

If you prefer this cold, skip the saucepan and shake it in a cocktail shaker with bourbon after blending.
