It’s LDW and I’m soaking up the last bits of summer with this super refreshing cocktail! Crazy simple ingredients make this a healthier option when you want to indulge. The blueberry jasmine iced tea from Saratoga Tea & Honey Company has both fruity and floral notes that are complimented by the lemon and a lightly sweet touch of agave.

Agave is my favorite sweetener to use in drinks and cocktails because it mixes in smoothly, has a great flavor and is said to cause less of a blood sugar spike than other sweeteners. The combo of these ingredients is so smooth and light that you’ll be hooked on tea cocktails for good.

“This tastes so good, I can’t even tell there’s alcohol in here!” – Party-goers after I served up a couple of these bad boys

Please drink ~responsibly~
