A couple of years ago, when I was still working in the restaurant at a city golf course in Tucson, AZ, one of my customers told me about a popular refreshing drink from his hometown.
Upper P Tea is named after the Upper Penninsula where it gained its popularity. This refreshing cocktail contains three simple ingredients.
It’s an easy peasy, which is totally my cup of tea, or, in this case, a glass of tea.
What I love about this blueberry tea recipe is that you can make it for one or a crowd. You can also make it with either unsweetened or sweetened tea.
While I don’t drink on a regular basis, I do enjoy a refreshing cocktail from time to time, and spiked blueberry tea is quickly becoming one of my favorites.
My absolute favorite? My adult cherry limeade is hands down the best. Don’t believe me? Simply try it and see for yourself.
Use A Jigger When Making Spiked Blueberry Tea To Easily Measure Your Vodka
Aside from the few ingredients you’ll need to make blueberry tea, you’ll also want to have a couple of other items on hand.
First, make sure you have a jigger so you can easily measure your vodka.
You’ll also want some cocktail picks for your blueberry garnish.
And, not only do they make your spiked blueberry tea easier to drink, these floral paper straws add a fun and festive touch.
My obsession with all things blueberry is becoming epic. Last week I shared the most amazing blueberry lemon sweet rolls and blueberry muffins, and have even more recipes planned in the coming weeks.
