Skinny Mango Black Tea Cocktail

Mango Black Tea Cocktail is a refreshing way to top off a warm summer day! This skinny cocktail is made with fresh strawberries, tea and bourbon.

Summertime days are filled with warm evenings, vacations, hot days, lounging at the pool or beach. Bright colors, flowers, a pretty sun, and flip flops tip-toeing in the sand are everywhere!

Our favorite summer recipes include fresh salads, recipes for grilling, delicious desserts and fun cocktails! Sipping on a refreshing ice tea or cocktail on a warm summer night makes me think of my childhood. Nights we spent at my grandparents camp ground having campfire dinners and roasting s’mores. We would just sit and play for hours enjoying the conversations between adults and children at play.

We don’t have campfires in our back yard, but we do like to top off a warm summer day with a “skinny adult” ice tea. It is lighter on the sugar and more hydrating than a martini.

For a sweet twist without the sugar I add lemon, sliced strawberries and fresh mint to my mango flavored black tea. If you want to make it a bit sweeter, add a few drops of liquid Stevia.
