Father’s Day is just around the corner and perhaps it is difficult to get something for a Father who seemingly has everything he wants….why not be creative? Make him something special that he can enjoy with friends and family. Cocktails made with TEA. Yes, you read that correctly.
Tea is not just something you drink hot. There are many ways to enjoy Tea. We’ve talked about Iced Tea in our article about Sun Iced Tea. What about Tea cocktails?
Tea Martini
1 1/2 ounces of Vodka
1 ounce of chilled tea of your choice *
Freshly squeezed lemon
1 teaspoon of honey
Lemon or lime wedge or fruit of your choice for a garnish
- Given it’s the warm sunny season, you may wish to try a fruit tea such as Passionfruit Peach Fusion or Summer Berry Fusion. See our full Tea Menu Here and scroll down to the Fruit Tea section for an abundance of choices.
Rum Punch
2 oz of Happy Red Dragonfruit & Mango Tea
1 1/2 oz white rum (you can substitute vodka)

1 teaspoon of Honey
1 1/2 oz Rum

4 mint leaves mushed and shaken in ice to release the flavour
For all of the drinks mentioned above, pour the ingredients over ice and stir or shake to maximize cool sensation. Serve in a martini glass, or pour into a tumbler over “rocks”. Enjoy.
