Hello Darlings, What’s a better way to start a new week if not with a happy hour?! For our weekly contest, DAVIDsTEA has come up with five fun tea-infused cocktail recipes that will steal hearts and indulge the taste buds. Happy tea hour!!!

The Sunburned Sling is the return of a DavidsTea favorite, the Tropicalia tea, infusing gin with coconut flavors, immediately traveling to a private island in the sun.

• .75 oz Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice

• .25 oz Grenadine
• Served tall with soda and ice and a mint garnish

The Brazilian Love Bird is straight from the beaches of South America where taste buds will think they are drinking fresh squeezed juice!

• 2 oz Mae D’Ouro Cachaca (infused for 2 hours with DavidsTea’s Pink Passion Fruit blend)
• 2 halves of a lime, muddled
• .75 oz Simple Syrup
  Add a few Tbsp. of fruit tisane to the batch

The Migratory Coconut is the low calorie answer to the pina colada and tastes like it just dropped from the palm trees above.

• 3 oz Weller 107 Bourbon (infused for 1.5 hours with DavidsTea’s Mint Julep blend)
• +.50 oz Demerara Syrup (that’s a “fat” half ounce)
• Batch the Bourbon and syrup to the above proportions, but only pour 2 oz or less (so it’s not too strong!)
• Serve over mint in the bottom of a rocks glass. Add ice. Agitate briefly.
• Garnish with a mint sprig

The One-Two Punch will be a knockout at any party this season taking guests south of the boarder to enjoy an all-fruit blend of mango, pineapple, and tangerine flavors combined with a summer favorite…Tequila!
