Try It Yourself →Tips for a Better Mimosa
- Chill the tea in advance. Using cold blackberry tea keeps the drink crisp and refreshing right from the first sip.
- Add sparkling liquids last. Pouring sparkling water or champagne at the end preserves carbonation and bubble fizz.
- Use frozen berries as ice cubes. Frozen blackberries keep the drink cold without watering down the bright fruit flavor.
