A fun fact about me – I LOVE iced tea. I don’t drink pop much since I’m not a fan of carbonated drinks; but iced tea I can’t get enough of. I was super excited when I was invited to check out a fun event where we were served all sorts of creative drinks with Nestea.
The event took place on a really rainy afternoon at Lisa Marie restaurant where we were served up yummy eats to compliment all the creative drinks.
Because I don’t drink all my drinks were non-alcoholic versions but I was told the alcoholic ones were quite delicious 🙂
This mint TEA Julep cocktail was so amazing! I never thought that iced tea could be even more refreshing!
Here are some more photos of the event to wet your appetites!
The mint TEA julep drink was actually my favourite so I wanted to share the recipe with you:
