This isn’t a complicated cocktail. It’s not overly sweet. It’s just right, fruity, chilled, and fun enough to make your afternoon feel a little special.

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 3 cups Southern Breeze Blueberry Iced Tea, brewed and chilled
  • 1 cup sparkling water or club soda
  • ¾ cup blueberries
  • ¾ cup raspberries
  • ½ cup lemon slices
  • Ice cubes (don’t skimp)

No syrups. No fuss. Southern Breeze takes care of the flavor and sweetness for you. You just get to enjoy it.

Step One: Prep the Berries

Grab a big pitcher. Toss in the blueberries, raspberries, and lemon slices. Don’t hold back, the more colorful it looks, the more fun it tastes.

Now give the berries a little press with the back of a spoon. Let their juices mingle. You’ll start to smell the fruity aroma right away. That smell? That’s summer in a glass.

Tip: Don’t crush all the berries. Leaving a few whole makes the cooler look beautiful and gives your sips a burst of fresh fruit.

Step Two: Pour the Tea

Add the chilled Southern Breeze Blueberry Iced Tea to the pitcher. Stir gently. Watch the colors swirl together, the deep purples of the berries, the golden-red of the tea.

No grainy sugar, no guesswork. Just smooth, fruity tea ready to meet your berries.

If you like, take a small taste here. Want it a little sweeter? A splash of extra tea can help balance it. It’s your cooler, make it exactly how you like it.

Step Three: Add the Fizz

Top with sparkling water or club soda just before serving. That soft fizz is instant refreshment in a glass. Toss in ice cubes, stir lightly, and float a few berries on top.

Optional twist: add a few fresh mint leaves. It makes the cooler look and taste even fresher.

The First Sip

Crisp at first. Then the blueberries hit, sweet, smooth, familiar. Raspberry follows, bright, tangy, playful. The sparkling water lifts everything, giving each sip a little sparkle that makes you want another immediately.

This isn’t just iced tea. It’s a tiny happy moment. One sip, and a hot day suddenly feels manageable. Maybe even fun.

Make It Your Own

Want to get creative? Here are some ideas:

Switch the fruit: Add extra blueberries, more raspberries, or even blackberries for a colorful twist.

Go tropical: Pineapple or mango chunks mix in perfectly with the berries for a vacation-style cooler.

Try ginger ale: Replace sparkling water for a warm, slightly spicy flavor.

Skip the fizz: For a smooth, pure berry-forward iced tea.

Make ahead: Let the berries and tea sit in the fridge overnight. Flavors deepen, colors blend, and it’s ready when you are.

Little adjustments like these turn a simple drink into something uniquely yours and always refreshing.

When to Drink It

This cooler isn’t just for parties. Pour it at brunch, keep a pitcher in the fridge for a hot afternoon, or serve it at a cookout. Even when it’s just a solo sip, it makes a quiet moment feel a little more special.
