I gave myself a tough facepalm after studying about Sprite + Tea.
The half-lemonade, half-tea Arnold Palmer has been round for therefore lengthy that it solely is smart to mix a lemon-lime soda with tea. I’m stunned Sprite, 7UP, or The Soda Previously Identified As Sierra Mist didn’t give you this concept sooner. To give you the beverage, Sprite thought exterior of the 12-pack field, or watched loads of TikTok and acquired the thought from a 2023 TikTok pattern that concerned placing two Lipton tea baggage right into a bottle of Sprite.
Initially, I used to be stunned that this wasn’t a model collaboration with Coca-Cola’s Gold Peak Tea. Nonetheless, after studying the substances and discovering that tea wasn’t listed however falls below the “pure flavors” class, I spotted it would harm the tea model if it didn’t include precise Gold Peak Tea. However the synergy would have been candy.
Nonetheless, it wouldn’t have been as candy as Sprite + Tea.
To borrow from one other tea model, I have to say it’s brisk, child. It tastes like I’ve made Lipton lemon iced tea with a powder combine, however added a bit extra water than what the directions say, leading to barely weaker flavors than a tea drink constructed from a mixture. So I suppose in case you’ve needed carbonated Lipton Brisk Iced Tea, Sprite + Tea offers you what you need.
However its stronger-than-the-soda tea taste might be an issue for these wanting Sprite’s crisp citrus style. The tea-to-soda ratio leans so closely towards the previous that if it didn’t are available in a bottle with Sprite on its label, it could be onerous to consider there’s Sprite in it. Possibly it must take a Nestea Plunge right into a pool of Sprite to steadiness the flavors higher. (What? Going too far again into iced tea business historical past? Youngsters, ask your mother and father in regards to the Nestea Plunge. Or, higher but, YouTube.) Or possibly Sprite Lymonade + Tea would’ve highlighted the lemon-lime extra prominently.
Whereas I just like the Sprite in you, Sprite + Tea, I’d like extra of it. Nonetheless, primarily tasting like lemon iced tea isn’t a purpose to keep away from it. It’s tasty, candy, and refreshing, which is the proper mixture for a summer time beverage.
