Sparkling Berry Tea Spritzer
  • 1 can (12 oz) of non-carbonated berry-flavored hard tea
  • 1/4 cup fresh mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1-2 teaspoons honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Start by preparing your mixed berries. Wash them thoroughly and cut any larger berries like strawberries into smaller pieces. Set aside a few berries for garnish.
  2. In a cocktail shaker or mixing glass, combine the fresh berries, lemon juice, and honey or agave syrup. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently muddle the berries, releasing their juices and flavors.
  3. Fill the cocktail shaker or mixing glass with ice cubes. Pour in the non-carbonated berry-flavored hard tea.
  4. Close the cocktail shaker or stir the mixture in the mixing glass gently to combine all the ingredients.
  5. Fill a highball glass or a wine glass with ice cubes. Strain the mixed drink from the shaker or mixing glass into the prepared glass.
  6. Top off the drink with a splash of sparkling water or club soda to add a refreshing fizz and enhance the spritzer effect.
  7. Garnish the drink with a few reserved fresh berries and a sprig of fresh mint for added aroma and visual appeal.
  8. Stir gently with a cocktail stirrer to mix the ingredients slightly before enjoying your Sparkling Berry Tea Spritzer.
