If you’re craving something celebratory but not boozy, this one’s for you.
Santa’s Sunset Spritz is a bright, bubbly mocktail made with our Hibiscus Lavender tea. It’s tart, floral, lightly sweet, and absolutely gorgeous in a glass. Think winter sunset vibes with a holiday twist.
Perfect for parties, cozy nights in, or anyone who wants a special drink without the alcohol.
Why Hibiscus Lavender Works So Well Here
Hibiscus brings that bold ruby-red color and a cranberry-like tartness, while lavender adds a soft floral note that feels calm and cozy. Together, they make the dreamiest base for a mocktail that feels both festive and refreshing.
Plus, it’s naturally caffeine-free.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Full Moon Tea Company Hibiscus Lavender tea
- 1 cup hot water
- 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or simple syrup, to taste
- Ice
- Sparkling water or club soda
- Fresh orange slice
- Fresh rosemary sprig or dried hibiscus flowers, optional for garnish
How to Make It
- Steep the Hibiscus Lavender tea in hot water for 7 to 10 minutes. You want a strong, vibrant brew.
- Strain and stir in honey or simple syrup while the tea is still warm. Let it cool completely.
- Fill a glass with ice and pour the cooled tea about halfway up.
- Top with sparkling water.
- Garnish with an orange slice and a rosemary sprig for that festive, wintry feel.
Give it a gentle stir and enjoy.
Make It Party-Ready
Hosting a crowd? Brew a larger batch of the tea ahead of time and chill it in the fridge. When guests arrive, just pour over ice and top with bubbles.
You can also:
- Swap sparkling water for blood orange soda for extra drama
- Add a splash of cranberry juice for deeper color
- Rim the glass with sugar for a little sparkle
The Vibe
This mocktail is bright, botanical, and celebratory without being sugary or heavy. It feels like a winter sunset, a crackling fire, and holiday music playing softly in the background.
Basically, Santa but make it chic.
