minutesTwo berry, berry delicious teas in one cocktail. Black Currant tea forms this base of this cocktail and Berry Blast Tea, with its hibiscus hue, brings home the sweetness. We love the berry deliciousness of both teas, and we especially love when they come together in a beautiful libation that’s sure to put a smile on your face.
This sip just sings of the holiday spirit. Can’t you see it at your tree-trimming party?
