Cheers with Tradewinds | 'Twas the Night Before Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house... The AC was on because I live in the south. 

It is 80 degrees outside and I can't wear any of my cute holiday sweaters. Hot chocolate is pushing it. Sweet tea? At this rate, why the heck not? I have two perfectly seasonal recipes that you can share in this uncharacteristically warm Christmas using Tradewinds Tea. It comes in a ton of flavors but I'm kind of obsessed with their sweet tea.

Paradise Peach Mangosa

Ingredients:

-          2 parts champagne

-          1 part Tradewinds Jimmy Buffett’s Island Tea Peach Mango Black Tea

And if you're extra fancy:

Apple Sea-Cider

Hope you have a Merry Christmas! I definitely doesn't feel like December, but this whole year has been crazy. Nothing as been ideal, so hey! I wanted a warm vacation, so I guess it came to me.

CHEERS!

LOVE, MARA
