This Cranberry Orange Spiked Sweet Tea is the perfect cocktail for the holidays! It’s deliciously sweet, citrusy and spiced just right.
A Celebration in a Glass
The holidays are here and that means parties and get-togethers galore. If you’re hosting this year, I’m here to help you take the party from good to great with this Cranberry Orange Spiked Sweet Tea! It’s refreshingly sweet and tart with a beautiful ruby red color that makes for a gorgeous celebration in a glass.
When it comes to hosting a crowd, we like to prep everything in advance so we can really enjoy the time with our friends and family. As much as we love crafting individual cocktails for ourselves or a small group, when there are several guests eager for a drink in hand, cocktails by the pitcher are the way to go.
So Simple, So Yummy
This sweet tea cocktail could not be simpler. It’s made with ready-to-drink sweet tea that’s so delicious on its own yet compliments the other ingredients so tastefully in this festive holiday cocktail.
The sweet tea adds such a nice balance of sweetness to compliment the tartness of the cranberry and orange so deliciously. Spike it all with spiced rum and serve in individual glasses with floating cranberries, a hanging orange slice and a cinnamon stick garnish. Sweet tea lovers will rejoice over how delicious the sweet tea tastes with this holiday twist.
