This drink is crisp, cooling, and quietly festive. Frosty Mint Evergreen Holiday Splash is inspired by winter greenery, snowy evenings, and that fresh outdoor air feeling that comes with the season. It’s refreshing without being cold and herbal without being medicinal.
Secret Garden Mint Tea gives this drink a clean, garden-fresh base that feels both calming and celebratory.
Why Secret Garden Mint Tea Works Here
Secret Garden Mint is cool, smooth, and naturally refreshing. It brings clarity and brightness to winter flavors that can sometimes feel heavy. Paired with citrus and bubbles, it feels like a palate reset during the holidays.
It’s especially lovely for gatherings where you want something festive but not sweet.
