Delicious Holiday Tea Cocktail with Southern Breeze

Every Year for around Christmas, I try to create a new cocktail for the season. This year was a bit different…actually entirely different. I have made tea cocktails in the past, mainly in the summer. For the holiday season, I have challenged myself to create tea Cocktail/Mocktail using Southern Breeze Cold Brew Tea. Now, when I say this hits….IT HITS!!!!

This cocktail is so refreshing, can be drank all day on Christmas AND… can be easily swapped to a Mocktail. Nothing says Christmas more than a nice pomegranate cocktail. I hope you enjoy my festive Sparkling Blueberry Tea and Pomegranate Cocktails. Let’s jump into the recipe.

My Sparkling Blueberry Tea and Pomegranate Cocktails

INGREDIENTS

• 6 ounces White Rum (remove for mocktail)
• 6 ounces Cranberry Juice
• 3 tablespoons simple syrup
• 6 ounces Pomegranate Juice
• Chilled Proseco (switch to sparkling water for mocktail)
• 1 cup water
• 2 Cold brew Blueberry Tea Bags – Southern Breeze
• 1 cup sugar
• (optional brown sugar rim)
• 1 wedge lemon

DIRECTIONS

1. In a small bowl, steep tea bags in cold water to later add to simple syrup
2. In a small sauce pan, combine the water and sugar. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the sugar has dissolved.
3. Transfer the simple syrup to a heat proof jar, add in steeped tea and chill until ready to us.
   *I leave the tea bags in until the solution is cooled
4. If you want the sugar rim, swipe a lemon wedge around the top of the champagne glass and then immediately press the glass into the sugar. Let the sugar rim dry.
5. Add a few ice cubes to each glass and in a cocktail shaker full of ice add the rum, juices and simple syrup. Shake and pour over the ice in 4 glasses and then top with chilled prosecco.
6. Serve immediately
