Avo-Teaki Cocktail β A Tropical Twist on Tea and Bourbon
This delicious recipe came to us from @BostonTikiParty, who turned our award-winning Avocado Leaf Tea into a one-of-a-kind summer cocktail. When they first tasted the tea, they thought βhot toddy,β but Julyβs heat called for something cooler. The result? The Avo-Teaki Cocktail β a tropical spin thatβs equal parts iced tea, tiki bar, and cozy nightcap.
πΉ A Tea-Ki Drink with a Twist
This cocktail is a hot toddy meets iced tea, with tiki flair. Itβs fresh and citrusy, yet warm and smooth thanks to the bourbon and honey syrup. The Avocado Leaf Tea gives it a rustic, herbal backbone with notes of earth and spice that balance perfectly with the fruit juice.
Because our Natural Avocado Leaf Tea is naturally caffeine-free, you can enjoy this as a relaxing evening drink or an after-dinner treat without worry of the jitters.
πΏ Why Avocado Leaf Tea Makes It Better
Avocado leaves are rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, and minerals that support healthy circulation, digestion, and relaxation. When steeped strong, they provide a unique depth thatβs both grounding and bright β an unexpected but perfect base for craft cocktails.
