Cape Town Spritz<\/h1>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients (serves 2):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • 4 oz<\/strong> strong chilled Cape Town Medley brew (see below)<\/li>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

      2. Mix It Up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Fill two tumblers with ice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Divide between them: 2 oz gin, 2 oz chilled Cape Town Medley, 1 oz lemon juice, \u00bc oz simple syrup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Top each with sparkling water (about 1.5 oz).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
