This Vanilla Chai Martini is the ultimate Mother’s Day Martini.

With Mother’s Day celebrations taking place this Sunday, perhaps you’d like to spoil your favorite mom with a decadent drink like This Vanilla Chai Martini.

It’s a cocktail developed by Kristopher Juniel for Thanksgiving & Co. and I can’t imagine that mom wouldn’t love it.
