Why You'll Love This Drink

I love how this mocktail feels both cozy and special- the ginger tea gives a gentle warmth, while the Q Mixers Cranberry Pomegranate Spritz adds crisp bubbles and a refreshing fizz. It's the kind of drink that feels special enough for a celebration, yet easy enough to make any night of the week.

FAQs

Can I make this mocktail ahead of time?

Yes, you absolutely can. I would mix the honey, tea, and orange juice in a jug before the company arrives and leave it to chill in the refrigerator. Do not add the spritz until ready to serve, so it does not go flat. Right before serving, pour into the prepared glasses and then add ice cubes and garnishes.

What can I use instead of ginger tea?

You can get creative here and pair with any seasonal tea you might enjoy. We love Mark T. Wendell for their seasonal blends like Autumn Cranberry, Pumpkin Spice, or Vanilla Bourbon Rooibos tea.

Can I serve this drink warm or chilled?

I would definitely serve this drink chilled since it has a spritz mixed in.
