Some of you may remember our Harney Happy Hour campaign we introduced last summer. If you missed it, or if you didn’t miss it but meant to snag the recipes for your own but forgot, you’re in luck! Our cool, frui-tea and oh so delish iced tea cocktails are back!
So bring the heat, Summer, we got this. Six refreshing, perfect for chillin’ by the pool and grillin’ like a fool tea-inspired cocktails. Give one, two or all six a try and let us know what you think in the comment section. And while you’re at it, enjoy the customized Spotify playlist created for each recipe by our very own Alex and Bertram Harney.
Welcome back to Harney Happy Hour. Cheers!
