Creative Pairings for Tea Party Cocktails

We love sipping delicious hot tea from china teacups, but that was just half the fun at the Luzianne Virtual Southern Tea Party held in New Orleans. We gathered with friends and fans from all over to share tea stories, taste our new Luzianne® Southern Blends collection and also try our skills at creating delicious cocktails with each of our Southern Blends teas – Honeyed Peach, Mint & Rose Blossom, and Watermelon & Honey. After all, what’s a Southern tea party without tea cocktails?
