Dear reader, we cannot contain our tremendous excitement for the release of Bridgerton season three, so we must boast a Lord & Lady Bridgerton Cocktail that’ll whisk you away to Regency London. Featuring a Lord Bergamot Tea steeped in dried butterfly pea flowers and perfected with Empress 1908 Indigo Gin, lemon, and a topping of Perrier Jouet Champagne Grand Brut, this cocktail is simply high class and bountiful. After all, what better beverage is there to sip on a hot and steamy night amongst the Bridgerton family and the ton?
Lord Bergamot Tea in Cocktails
Don’t relegate Lord Bergamot Tea from Steven Smith Teamaker to just a mug. This tea bag carries vibrant citrus and floral notes due to the bergamot oil, making it a steady base for crafting unique cocktails. Maybe you’ll make a refreshing summer spritzer where the tea combines with sparkling water and your favorite white wine in an uplifting drink. Or if you’re feeling adventurous, you can steep the tea bags with other florals or herbs for a deeper flavor profile. Use it to create a sophisticated twist on classic cocktails such as a Lavender Earl Grey Martini or a tea-infused Old Fashioned. Take a leap towards elevating your cocktail game with the unexpected elegance of Lord Bergamot Tea.
What is Bridgerton Season 3 About?
The Bridgerton series on Netflix as a whole focuses on the love, lust, and lies of the Bridgerton family in Regency London. It’s based on the historical romance novel series by Julia Quinn and each season dives into the main love life of a different Bridgerton child. The new season premiering on May 16 follows Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington, an eligible suitor and unmarried young woman that have been in the show since season one. When Penelope decides it’s time for her to find a husband and leave home, the two make a deal to help her find the perfect suitor. Though when their friendship and deep feelings for each other mix, what will the outcome be for these two “friends”?
