Even though the U.S. welcomes the world this summer, this Fourth of July marks a momentous occasion. The semiquincenntennial, aka America 250, puts red, white, and blue patriotism front and center. Ready to toast with Snapple Two Hundred Fif-TEA?
Snapple kicked off the summer with a bang. The special, limited-editions Knicks bottles took over NYC. Both beverage and Knicks fans sought out those collectors items. Luckily, no one was raiding trash cans for the commemorative bottles.
Since the summer fun continues, the iconic beverage brand keeps the celebration front and center with its Snapple Two Hundred Fif-TEA. Snapple has been planning this drink and it corresponding tea party for a long time. Based on legal findings, the company secured the name rights last year. It shows that the company was serious about this celebration.
What is the Snapple Two Hundred Fif-TEA flavor?
While the red, white, and blue patriotic imagery sets the stage, the Snapple Two Hundred Fif-TEA flavor is not necessarily what people would have expected for the semiquincenntennial celebration. But, the brand new tea captures both ingenuity and nostalgia, which is fitting for the celebration.
The specialty beverage combines raspberry tea with lemonade. While the concept is an Arnold Palmer, the juicy, tart raspberry tea keeps the lemonade from being too sweet. It is refreshing yet a little surprising. It is not the tea served in that Boston harbor all those years ago.
While Snapple hosted a twist on that infamous tea party, anyone can offer their own take on a “tea break” with the new beverage. With a few simple twists, that all-American celebration can be even more refreshing.
For example, simply adding some fruit ice to a glass is a simple way to amplify the flavor. Whether it is some raspberries in ice cubes or a frozen lemon wedge, those concepts not only bring a fun visual but highlight the fruity flavors.
Another fun idea is to add some raspberry puree to the bottom of the glass. It will add extra sweetness. It turns a drink into the popular layered drinks that are the rage this summer.
Also, this beverage would be great frozen into a slushy. For anyone who has one of those machines, this Snapple drink would become the hit of any summer gathering.
The Snapple Two Hundred Fif-TEA is available at Walmart and other major retailers. Check with stores for availability and pricing.
