Whether it’s shaken, stirred or simply straight up, this July at Twinings, we wanted to pay our respect to life’s perfect pairing: mocktails and tea. We also wanted to highlight the awesome work that Dry July does, which is a fundraiser that aims to promote funds to those affected by cancer.

 

 

First up: preparing for Dry July

Dry July is a chance to hit pause and switch up how you sip. We recommend using the night-times after work and on the weekends as a chance to have fun and get creative with what beverage you create. Also, a great tip is to think about what you’ll match your mocktail with: a cute movie, a new board or card game? Taking time out with a glass of something fancy and a laugh could be the perfect way to switch off.

 

 

 

Our Tea Mocktail Menu for Dry July

Here’s a compiled list of all the mocktails we have on our blogs at Twinings. The first three were ones we crafted specifically for the month of Dry July. Then, we’ve broken down what to expect from each mocktail.  

 

 

Lemon Twist Sour
Pure Green Colada
Earl Grey Fizz
French Earl Grey Mocktail
Merry Holiday Mocktail

 

Lemon Twist Sour

Lively, sprightly and bubbly, treat yourself to the ultimate twist. Made with our Lemon Twist herbal infusion, this sweet-sour sip is best served with good company and a fun board game. Want to kick it up a notch? Why not switch in two Lemon & Ginger teabags and a dash of grated ginger to garnish.

 

Pure Green Colada

 

Don’t get caught in the rain, get caught with your hands around this creamy coconutty concoction, brimming with a fresh lychee twist. We’ve taken the goodness of our Pure Green Tea and matched it with flavours that pair perfectly. Set your phone onto Do Not Disturb and press play on a delicious playlist. Want to take it to another level? Our Green Tea & Jasmine is also simply divine as a tea substitute to this recipe.

 

Earl Grey Fizz

 

 

We’ve taken our well-loved Earl Grey and given it a fizzy, sophisticated switch-up. With a salt-sweet garnish and a burst of grapefruit, we recommend trying this mocktail by candlelight and your choice of a post-dinner indulgence. Dark chocolate? A movie? The next instalment of Bridgerton? The choice is yours. 

 

French Earl Grey Mocktail

 

 

Oh, la, la. Send yourself to the streets of Paris with this glammed-up version of our go-getter black tea, French Earl Grey. With juicy orange juice and bubbles to match, this mocktail is reminiscent of a mimosa, with notes of rose and vanilla. Perfect paired with dessert or a fruit platter after dinner.

 

Merry Holiday Mocktail

 

Make every moment a holiday with our mocktail made for the celebration season. This duo features Pure Peppermint and Cranberry and Pomegranate for a nostalgic minty hit. Refreshing and reminiscent of candy canes, our recipe is crafted to make a jug for a seriously delicious sippable centerpiece. 

So, which one’s your flavour? With five recipes to take your pick from, you can also craft up your own concoction by throwing any of our teas over iced. Check out our perfect teas to have a cold and our Easy Iced Tea Tutorial and get crafty!
