Bird & Blend’s Top 3 Cold Brew Cocktails

Founded by tea enthusiasts to spread joy and redefine tea, Bird & Blend is an independent, eco-conscious company that creates award-winning tea blends. In collaboration with them, we held a TEA-riffic giveaway and learned more about their extraordinary flavours. Our curiosity was piqued when we learned that their delicious teas would be the perfect component for cocktails, and we wanted to learn more!

Let’s get into the spirit!

Our pals at Bird & Blend have generously shared their top three cold brew cocktail recipes which are great for those who are craving a cheeky, fruity tipple in the summer sun! According to the tea magicians, the best way to experience all the flavours is to let the tea steep for several hours or overnight!
