Tea Infused Cocktails

We beat the heat with some refreshing tea treats at our July tea and cocktail event. We had great attendance and everyone enjoyed the variety of drinks we sampled. We partnered with The Tea Party Café for this event, which features a Peach Tea Cocktail and a Bourbon based tea cocktail that packs a delightful punch. Next time you visit them we suggest you try one. In addition to the Tea Party’s cocktail offerings we created a Gin infused tea cocktail and a Lapsang Souchong Caesar with an amazing smokiness that brought the drink to the next level!

Whether you’re mixing drinks using tea as a base, accent flavour, or infusing your alcohol with tea there’s a cocktail out there for everyone! We’ve got some great recipes here including the two that we created for the workshop, so we hope you enjoy the warm weather we’ve been having by sipping on one of these while relaxing in the shade!
