Iced Tea Cocktails for Summer

Posted on by Organic Merchant

What are Iced Tea Cocktails?

Create iced tea cocktails by combining a tea base with your favourite organic spirits, liquers and sparkling wines.

Using our Iced Tea Cocktail Infusions in place of fruit juices and other cocktail mixes offers a tantalising healthy alternative, free of added sugar or flavourings.

And don’t forget, any boozy iced tea cocktail recipe can become something special when you throw in some fruits of summer: peaches, berries, oranges, lemons or limes.  Muddled herbs like basil and mint can also add a delicious flavour.
