Refreshing Bubbly Teas Cocktail Recipe

Refreshing Bubbly Teas Cocktail Recipe

I love tea and drink it every day. I have not had the pleasure of drinking a sparkling tea so I was interested in checking out this cool product. Blending chai teas and bubbles sounded so good and the folks at ChaiElixir thought so too! I was sent a few bottles to try out and play around with and I was pleasantly surprised!

ChaiElixir Bottles

ChaiExilir offers three flavors of this tea blend. The Fusion offers soft vanilla notes and bold oolong tea flavor that allows for endless possibilities for simple and sophisticated cocktail creations. Not to mention just plain enjoyment straight.

In addition to the Fusion blend, they offer Vivid, which is a blend of crisp green tea and citrus, and Essence offers a combination of white tea and delicious peach infusions. These bubbly drinks are bottled in elegant glass with a convenient twist off top for quick and easy access. This line of reduced-sugar, sparkling, chai teas are a great non-alcoholic offering at parties and events, but each can also pair with favorite liquors to create a quick, simple cocktail too.

My favorite was the Fusion. I loved the hint of vanilla with the sparkling tea flavor. It is refreshing and not too sweet like some bottled teas. Plus oolong is a favorite tea of mine too. I did not get to try the Essence, but it sounds like I would have enjoyed it too! The Vivid is the green tea blend and while good, it was not my preference as I am not a huge fan of green tea.

Check out this easy and delicious recipe called Vodka Chai, a simple, two ingredient, delicious cocktail made with ChaiElixir Fusion.

I love the blues and greens. I think the green is the perfect shade for my coloring. The blue is awesome and just right for summer! I played around with the hot Yellow and added a few dots. Fun! Then I topped a couple of nails with the Silver Glitter!

The orange/sunset color they called Maroon, is by far my favorite. I am in love love with that! It reminds me of a sunset and when I topped it with the pink glitter, it totally changed the hue to a pinkish shade that is gorgeous! So Cool!

What I love about the SinfulColors collections the most is the price. You never have to feel guilty for springing for an affordable mani and pedi at home. Plus the wear is great too! It is a great line to play with. And with cool adhesives in the henna appliqués, you can createan awesome look you will love with your summer fashion.
