Recipe type: drink
Ingredients
  • ½ cup sugar
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • 4 cups berry zinger tea brewed with 2 teabags, cooled
  • Crushed Ice
Instructions
  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, stir together the sugar, ¼ cup water, and lemon juice and zest. Bring to a simmer and stir to completely dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat and cool completely.
  2. In a large pitcher, stir together the brewed tea with the lemon simple syrup and 1 cup cold water. Stir in the bourbon if using and pour over crushed ice in glasses.

Our Lemon Zinger Berry Mocktail was easy! You can make it into a cocktail by adding bourbon or vodka but I wanted a refreshing day drink! And it sure did!

But what impressed me the most is that, using the Edge Grip Knife Sharpener on my knife to cut the lemons made it slice through it like butter! I just replaced my knives and really wish I had this tool ahead of time. My old sharpener did not sharpen at all! If I had this, I may have saved myself some money!

The Better Zester was also really neat as it made zesting the lemon for this mocktail so much easier than any other I have used. With the wide, angled handle, we were able to hang onto it without it slipping!

I handed all of my friends a Better Zester and a Lemon Berry Zinger Mocktail as a thank you for coming and trying out these new products. Check them out for yourself or for the cooking enthusiast in your life!
