Mixed Berry Black Tea Spritz
A vibrant, low-proof spritz built on mixed berry black tea syrup, gin, and prosecco — bright, fruity, and effortlessly easy to sip.
Mixed Berry Black Tea's vivid color and tart-sweet flavor make it a natural fit for a spritz-style cocktail. Reducing the brewed tea into a light syrup concentrates the berry character into something that can stand up to gin and sparkling wine without getting lost.
The tea syrup takes only a few minutes to make and keeps well in the fridge for over a week, so it's worth batching ahead for parties — just brew, sweeten lightly, and reduce briefly on the stove until slightly thickened.
Gin's botanical edge plays nicely against the berry sweetness, while a dry prosecco keeps the whole drink light and effervescent rather than heavy. Served over ice in a wine glass, it looks as good as it tastes, with the deep red tea syrup swirling through the bubbles.
For a non-alcoholic mocktail version, swap the gin and prosecco for extra mixed berry tea syrup topped with sparkling water or non-alcoholic sparkling wine, and a squeeze of lime. You get the same vivid color and bright, fruity spritz character, just without the alcohol — a great option for daytime gatherings or anyone skipping booze.
