☕️🍹 Afternoon HARD Iced Tea Week

August 12–18 | Where tea time meets cocktail hour

🎉 What’s the Tea?

Technically it’s Afternoon Tea Week… but we’re giving it a cheeky twist: Afternoon HARD Iced Tea. Same elegance, extra fizz. It’s the perfect daytime refresher for hot afternoons, cottage hangs, patios, and park picnics.

Boost your afternoon with a hit of caffeine, cure those midday munchies, and make it social with a MAD Tea Party. With so many great hard tea options, try a different one every day this week!

🗓️ The Game Plan (Try-One-a-Day)

• Mon - Arnold Spiked: Half lemonade, half hard tea, all yes.
  Snack: lemon squares & kettle corn.

• Tue - Classic Lemon: Bright, zesty, crushable.
  Snack: tea sandwiches & salt-and-vinegar chips.

• Wed - Peach on the Beach: Juicy and flirty.
  Snack: burrata with peaches, basil, balsamic.

• Thu - Raspberry Refresher: Tart meets sweet.

🫖 How to Host a MAD Tea Party

• Set the scene: gingham blankets, mismatched teacups, buckets of ice.

• Build a Tea Bar: chilled hard teas, citrus wheels, mint, berries, simple syrup.

• Snack Stack: scones, mini quiches, chicken salad bites, fruit skewers.

• Cute Touches: label flavours, add metal straws, make a “House Rules” card (e.g., sip, snack, spill the tea—never the drink).

🍋 Pro Tips for Peak Sips

• Serve frosty: keep cans on ice; glasses in the freezer for 10.

• Citrus lift: a squeeze of lemon or grapefruit wakes everything up.

• Mint matters: slap the mint (gently!) to release aroma.

• Light bubbles: top with soda for a spritzier feel.

🍽️ Quick Pairing Cheatsheet

• Citrus hard tea → fish tacos, kettle chips

• Berry hard tea → goat cheese, prosciutto, strawberries

• Peach hard tea → BBQ chicken, cornbread

• Tropical hard tea → spicy wings, pineapple salsa
