Cape Town Spritz Cocktail

Cape Town Spritz

This beautiful drink boasts fruity notes from the tea blend’s ingredients: pomegranate, pomelo, orange, carrot and safflower. The gin and lemon heighten the fruitiness, and the bubbles add a refreshing left. A perfect summer porch pounder.

  • 4 oz strong chilled Cape Town Medley brew (see below)
  • 3 oz dry gin
  • 2 oz sparkling water (club/seltzer)
  • 1 oz fresh lemon juice
  • ½ oz simple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • Ice
  • Garnish: lemon wheel + fresh mint sprig

  2. Divide between them: 2 oz gin, 2 oz chilled Cape Town Medley, 1 oz lemon juice, ¼ oz simple syrup.

☁️ Mocktail Option

Skip the gin and extend with sparkling water for a non‑alcoholic spritz that’s equally refreshing.
