- Fed up with drinking gallons of regular tea during Lunar New Year celebrations? Try mixing things up a bit with sparkling tea cocktails
- These six concoctions, created by drinks expert Noah Villeneuve with sparkling tea brand Saicho, are designed for easy sipping
Plenty of eating and drinking takes place throughout the two-week-long Lunar New Year holiday. Tea – copious amounts of it – is what is typically drunk during the many festive gatherings, but those looking to mix things up a bit might want to try sparkling tea cocktails.
To that end, Charlie Winkworth-Smith and Natalie Chiu, co-founders of sparkling tea brand Saicho, have worked with Noah Villeneuve, a low- and no-alcohol drinks specialist in the UK, to create a series of Lunar New Year-inspired cocktails.
“After talking and working with numerous talented mixologists, we have learnt that [sparkling tea] makes an innovative and versatile ingredient for cocktails,” Winkworth-Smith says.
Chiu adds that sparkling tea cocktails create more options for food pairing.
“When looking for inspiration for hosting gatherings at home, we know our consumers and want to surprise and delight their guests with something new and creative.
“This range of cocktails is a great way to add something new and be the host everyone talks about this season.”
