Why use Earl Grey tea?

The traditional Malibu punch is a tasty and fruity drink. Why add Earl Grey tea to it?

Earl Grey tea is a blend which is flavored with oil of bergamot, and uses the rinds of citrus fruits which grow on bergamot orange trees.

This gives the tea a unique taste that combines well with Malibu rum and other fruits.

Using Earl Grey tea in this Malibu Punch recipe adds a unique and sophisticated twist to the traditional flavors of a punch. The tea’s natural citrus notes from the bergamot oil complement the tropical flavors of pineapple and lime, creating a harmonious blend to enjoy on a hot summer evening.
