Strawberry Green Tea Spritz
A bubbly, blush-pink spritz combining strawberry green tea, prosecco, and fresh strawberries — light, fruity, and easy to pour by the pitcher.
Strawberry green tea's natural sweetness and fruity aroma make it an effortless cocktail base — there's no need for heavy syrups or liqueurs, just a chilled strong-brewed tea, something sparkling, and fresh fruit.
Brewing the tea cold (or hot and then fully chilling it) keeps the cocktail crisp instead of watered-down. A short steep keeps tannins low so the drink stays bright and fruity rather than tasting bitter once it's mixed with bubbles.
Prosecco or any dry sparkling wine works well here, adding lift and a touch of acidity that balances the strawberry sweetness. Muddled fresh strawberries at the bottom of the glass add texture and an extra hit of real fruit flavor as you sip.
For a non-alcoholic mocktail version, swap the prosecco for chilled sparkling water or non-alcoholic sparkling wine, and add an extra splash of fresh lime juice to keep the drink lively. The result is just as refreshing and pairs perfectly with the same strawberry garnish, making this an easy crowd-pleasing recipe to batch for guests who are and aren't drinking.
