Sparkling Blackberry Iced Tea Mimosa

Fresh. Fizzy. A little fancy.

You know that drink that makes brunch feel like a celebration before the food even hits the table?

Yeah, this is that drink.

It’s bright, a little bubbly, and full of juicy blackberry flavor. Basically, if summer and Sunday brunch had a baby, it would look a lot like this. One sip and you’re instantly in that weekend state of mind, sunlight spilling through the windows, laughter mixing with music, and glasses clinking like tiny bursts of joy.

This isn’t your everyday iced tea. It’s the kind of drink that brings color to the table, sparkles in the glass, and makes everyone ask, “What’s in this?” before they even taste it.

Meet Your New Brunch Starter

We’re not here for overcomplicated cocktails. No shaking, straining, or fancy bartender moves. This one’s as easy as it is pretty, which is exactly how brunch should be.

Just mix, pour, and sip. That’s it.

Each glass tastes like sunshine, with a little sparkle that turns even a casual morning into something you’ll want to toast to.

You get the smooth, sweet flavor of blackberry iced tea, a pop of fizz from sparkling water or champagne, and that rich berry aroma that feels like summer captured in a glass.

It’s equal parts refreshing and indulgent, and somehow, it fits right in whether you’re hosting brunch for six or just treating yourself to something nice on a quiet Sunday morning.

Here’s What You’ll Need

Just five minutes, a few berries, and something bubbly.

• Fresh blackberries (about a handful)
  

• A squeeze of lemon juice
  

• Honey or sugar (optional, only if you want it extra sweet since the tea is already sweet)
  

• Chilled Southern Breeze Blackberry Iced Tea
  

• Sparkling water or champagne
  

• Ice cubes
  

• Fresh mint, for flair
  

You can already see it coming together, right?

The deep purple of the blackberries, the shimmer from the bubbles, the bright green mint leaf perched on top, it’s a photo waiting to happen.

Mix It Up

1. Smash the berries.

Grab a glass or small bowl. Gently mash the blackberries with lemon juice and honey. You just want them juicy, not destroyed. That’s where the flavor lives, in those little bursts of juice that mix beautifully with the tea.

2. Add the tea.

Pour in your chilled blackberry tea. Give it a quick swirl and watch the color bloom. The mix of tea and berries turns into a stunning, jewel-toned drink that looks as good as it tastes.

3. Top with bubbles.

Now for the magic. Add sparkling water for a lighter version, or go all out with champagne if you’re celebrating something special (or just because it’s Sunday). The fizz lifts the flavor and gives every sip that fun, tingly feeling.

4. Finish with ice and mint.

Drop in a few ice cubes and tuck in a sprig of fresh mint. It adds that little touch of freshness that makes the whole drink come alive.

It’s brunch perfection, effortless, beautiful, and made for second rounds.

A Drink That Brings People Together

You know that moment when everyone’s gathered around the table, talking over each other, laughing before the first plate even lands? That’s the moment this drink belongs in.

It’s the glass that starts the conversation, the one that makes people pause to admire the color before taking a sip. It’s easy to make, hard to mess up, and even harder not to love.

Because it’s not just a drink. It’s a small celebration, a reminder that you don’t need a reason to treat yourself or the people you love.

“Pretty enough for pictures. Easy enough for seconds.”

Whether you’re team mocktail or team champagne, this mimosa hits the sweet spot: refreshing, not too sugary, and full of flavor. It’s the perfect middle ground between fancy and laid-back, something you can enjoy barefoot on the porch or dressed up at a brunch table.

Quick Tips for Switching It Up

Want to make it your own? Go for it.

• Toss in a handful of raspberries or a few peach slices for a new twist on the flavor.

• Use sparkling lemonade instead of champagne for a bright, kid-friendly version.

• Make a big batch and serve it in a clear glass pitcher so the colors can do the talking.

• Garnish with a slice of lemon or a few frozen berries to keep it cool and beautiful without watering it down.

It’s the kind of recipe that invites creativity, no rules, just good taste.

Why It Works Every Time

Because blackberry and tea are a match made for summer.

The smooth, mellow base of tea keeps things grounded while the berries bring a juicy, tart sweetness that cuts right through.

That balance, bright, sweet, and lightly fizzy, makes it feel special every single time. It’s not heavy, not cloying, just the right mix of refreshing and satisfying.

This drink doesn’t need an occasion. It creates one.

The Southern Breeze Touch

Here’s the real secret: start with Southern Breeze Blackberry Sweet Tea.

You can skip the extra sugar and skip the guilt. It’s already perfectly sweetened with zero sugar, so you get all the flavor, none of the fuss.

Just brew it cold, keep it chilled in the fridge, and you’re halfway to your mimosa before you even grab the berries. Southern Breeze keeps things real, made with fresh-brewed tea leaves and that unmistakable smooth, Southern taste.

So when it’s time to play brunch bartender, all that’s left is to add your sparkle.

Cheers to Simple Joys

The Sparkling Blackberry Iced Tea Mimosa isn’t about being fancy. It’s about slowing down, laughing louder, and savoring those easy moments that make weekends worth remembering.

It’s for those “let’s just hang out” kind of mornings. The ones that stretch into the afternoon without anyone noticing. The kind where you stay on the porch a little too long, your playlist running out while the glasses keep quietly refilling themselves.

So go on, grab your berries, your bubbles, and your Southern Breeze Blackberry Sweet Tea.

Pour something that feels as easy as it tastes.

Because good days start with great tea.
