Mixology Tips for Perfect Sparkling Tea Cocktails
Temperature Matters
Always serve Copenhagen Sparkling Tea well-chilled (4-6°C) for optimal flavor and effervescence. Store bottles in the refrigerator and use plenty of ice in your cocktails.
Preserve the Bubbles
Add Copenhagen Sparkling Tea last when mixing cocktails to preserve the delicate carbonation. Pour gently down the side of the glass rather than directly onto ice.
Balance Your Flavors
Copenhagen Sparkling Teas have natural sweetness, so adjust other sweet ingredients accordingly. Start with less syrup or liqueur than traditional recipes call for.

Choose garnishes that complement the tea's botanicals. Fresh herbs, edible flowers, and seasonal fruits enhance both presentation and flavor.
