Raspberry Mar-Tea-ni

 Earlier, I promised to share some non-alcoholic or mocktail recipes for you.

Here is  one from Coca-Cola, that is made with their Gold Peak tea product.

It's called a Raspberry Mar-Tea-ni.  

Ingredients:

1 ounce of Gold Peak California Raspberry Tea syrup

3/4 ounce lemon juice

3 ounces Ginger Beer

raspberries, for garnish

Directions:

Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice and stir.

Strain into a martini glass.

Garnish with raspberries.

Directions for making Gold Peak California Raspberry Tea Syrup Recipe:

Combine 1/2 cup of Gold Peak California Raspberry tea with 1/2 cup of sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat.  Bring to a low boil.  Remove from heat.  Let cool and transfer to a glass container.

The Cup of Life also has directions on making a tea simple syrup.  You could perhaps use your imagination and make this with raspberries and make the recipe your own.

Enjoy your mocktail!
