Sparkling iced tea is a delicious way to serve iced tea for holiday events. This drink is bursting with fresh cranberries and mint, helping to deck the halls with red and green color!
This sparkling iced tea is one of two recipes I made during a recent food segment on IndyStyle on WISH-TV. The other recipe is a quick and easy appetizer, bacon cheddar cheese ball bites.
I think every holiday get together needs drinks that everyone can enjoy. It doesn’t always have to be about the cocktail. Sparkling iced tea is something most people like. I gave mine a splash of flavor by adding cran-raspberry juice, cranberry infused ice cubes, mint leaves and slices of fresh lime.

Fruit infused ice cubes are great no matter the reason or season. If you have ice cube trays and small cuts of fruit then that’s all you need. Add a bit to each part of the tray, fill with water and freeze. Then simply take a few cubes out when you need a bit of something extra in your drinks!
You can make this cran-raspberry sparkling iced tea recipe in a pitcher OR a large serving bowl. That looks nice when you float the ice cubes in the bowl. You can even freeze them in a ring!
Wash your fruit, add to the clean tray, fill with water and freeze!
