Elevate your cocktail game with the Lady Grey Gin Fizz, a refreshing and elegant drink infused with the bright citrus and bergamot notes of Appalachian Lady Grey Tea. This cocktail brings together the floral complexity of gin, the zing of fresh lemon, and the smooth depth of black tea—all finished with a bubbly club soda top for a light, fizzy kick.
Perfect for spring gatherings, brunch toasts, or a quiet evening unwind, this tea-infused cocktail is as refined as it is refreshing. The addition of a lemon wheel and fresh herbs makes for a stunning presentation, while the tea adds a subtle, layered complexity you won’t get in a standard gin fizz.
Sip, savor, and let the Appalachian Lady Grey work its magic!
Cheers!
