A top drinks expert is encouraging Brits to ditch the cocktails this summer and try out a simple three-ingredient alcohol-free mocktail you can make at home.
Those looking for a delicious, low-calorie alternative to cocktails can try out a Fizz-Tea – an exquisite blend of your favourite cooled tea and fizzy drink, with a dash of summer fruits.
And with Gen-Z consuming less alcohol than ever – just under half of those aged 18-24 are regular or occasional drinkers of both low and no-alcohol drinks – there’s no better time to start introducing Fizz-Tea to your garden parties, get-togethers and summer BBQs.
Diaz Ayub, tea expert and Managing Director and Founder at The Tea Group, has shared his top tips for making the perfect Fizz-Tea to wow your guests.
Diaz said: “Fizz-Tea really is set to be the drink of the summer and is a super simple way to give your parties something a little unique, that will get people talking.
“Start by brewing and cooling the perfect pot of tea, stirring through ice and your favourite fruits finished by adding your fizzy drink of choice. You can even finish with some mint or rosemary.
“There are so many stunning teas available on the market, which means you can really get creative with Fizz-Tea.
“While Fizz-Tea is a perfect no-alcohol alternative to offer guests, it also tastes great with a splash of gin or two.”
