 Celebrate the 4th of July with a

Patriotic Tea Mocktail!

The 4th of July is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than with a refreshing, patriotic-themed drink? Whether you're hosting a BBQ or just looking to enjoy the holiday with a cool beverage, this red, white, and blue tea mocktail is the perfect choice. Plus, it's super easy to make with just a few ingredients you might already have on hand. If you want to give it an adult twist, we have a fun option for that too!

Ingredients:

• Bourne Again Goods Hibiscus Berry Herbal Tea Blend
• Grenadine
• Zero Sugar Lemonade
• Zero Sugar Blue Gatorade
• Ice cubes
• Optional: Coconut Rum for an adult version

Instructions:

1. Brew the Hibiscus Berry Tea:

   • Start by brewing a strong cup of Bourne Again Goods Hibiscus Berry Herbal Tea. Follow the instructions on the packaging to get the perfect flavor.
   • Allow the tea to cool completely. You can speed up the process by placing it in the fridge for a while.

2. Prepare Your Glass:

   • Fill your glass or mason jar with ice cubes. The more ice, the better for creating the layered effect.

3. Layer the Drink:

   • Red Layer: Pour the cooled hibiscus berry tea into the bottom third of your glass along with the grenadine. The vibrant red color will create a beautiful base for your drink.
   • White Layer: Slowly pour the zero sugar lemonade over the back of a spoon to help it float on top of the red layer. This will create the white middle layer.
   • Blue Layer: Finally, carefully pour the zero sugar blue Gatorade over the back of a spoon to float it on top of the lemonade, creating the blue top layer.

4. Optional Adult Version:

   • If you want to add a bit of a kick to your mocktail, add a splash of coconut rum between the white and blue layers. This will add a tropical twist that's perfect for summer!

5. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Insert a straw and give it a gentle stir to combine the flavors slightly while keeping the layers intact. Enjoy your festive 4th of July drink!

Tips for the Perfect Layered Drink:

• The key to achieving distinct layers is to pour each liquid slowly and gently over the back of a spoon. This helps to control the flow and allows the liquids to stack rather than mix.
• Make sure your hibiscus berry tea is well-chilled before assembling the drink. This helps to keep the ice from melting too quickly and diluting your drink.

Why We Love This Drink:

• It's Healthy: With zero sugar lemonade and blue Gatorade, this drink is a healthier alternative to traditional sugary beverages.
• It's Beautiful: The vibrant red, white, and blue layers make this drink a showstopper at any gathering.
• It's Versatile: You can enjoy it as a refreshing mocktail or add coconut rum for a fun adult version.

I hope you enjoy making and drinking this festive 4th of July tea mocktail/cocktail as much as we do. Don't forget to share your creations with Bourne Again Goods on social media by tagging @bourneagaingoods!
