Unmasking Delight: A Green Tea Mocktail for Bridgerton Season 4 Premiere Tonight!

Bridgeton tea inspired mocktail. A Diamond for Season Four!

Bridgerton Season 4 premieres tonight, and we’re raising a toast to Sophie and Benedict with a green tea mocktail courtesy of The Republic of Tea.

My latest Republic of Tea catalogue arrived with a sample of Sophie and Benedict Love in Bloom Green Tea and an inviting mocktail recipe featuring that special blend. Tonight felt like the perfect occasion to give it a try.

Ingredients

Sophie and Benedict Green Tea

Fresh basil leaf

4 oz water

1/2 tsp Bridgerton honey (or preferred sweetener)

Splash of cranberry juice

Squeeze of one lime wedge

Steep the tea with the basil leaf for three minutes, then remove both the tea bag and basil. Pour the brewed tea into a shaker with ice, add the honey, cranberry juice, and lime, and shake until chilled.

We made one small adjustment: no fresh basil at our local grocery store, so we used dried basil and strained it through a fine sieve.

Where splashing and squeezing are involved, feel free to adjust to your own taste.


Ingredients for the Love in Bloom Mocktail includes The Republic of Tea's Sophie & Benedict tea

I served this mocktail to a small gathering before our pre‑Bridgerton viewing, and it received an enthusiastic, unanimous thumbs‑up.

The mocktail is a delightful blend of sweet and fruity flavors anchored by the basil and tea to give it a balanced taste that's full-bodied and satisfying. 

While Sophie’s identity may remain a mystery, we’re more than ready to unmask our enthusiasm for this delicious Bridgerton‑inspired tea mocktail.

Cheers to the latest Bridgerton romance (and yes, we'll clink to that! 😉).

We've enjoyed many of The Republic of Tea's Bridgerton collection, starting with the Duke and I. See Tuesday Tea and Tomes: The Duke and I, the first in the Bridgerton series with its own tea.
