We all love a good alcoholic beverage, but let’s face it—many of them are loaded with sugar and hard-to-pronounce ingredients that leave us feeling less than fabulous. That’s where our boozy iced tea stands out from the crowd. It’s a refreshing alternative that doesn’t compromise on taste or quality. P.S.: with the added benefits of caffeine from green tea, you can stay hydrated and energized without the jitters of iced coffee or black tea (and without the mess of traditional tea bags!).

Our ingredients are non-GMO, gluten-free, and low-sugar, making this boozy iced tea a healthier choice compared to traditional cocktails. So, not only is it easy to whip up, but you can also feel good about what you’re sipping on.
