These recipes aim to give a new twist to tea drinking by turning hot tea into exciting and uplifting cold beverages which are perfect for any day or occasion.

A Twist to a Classic The 16 cocktail and cocktail recipes feature a wide variety of Lipton tea from its signature Yellow Label Tea and Pyramid Tea rang. Fans of George Young might want to take note that his signature creations include the sweet and irresistible Maple Twist, refreshingly delicious Mo-Tea-To (what a dorky name!) and the tropical Fruitea Red Crush that is absolutely perfect for Singapore’s tropical weather.
George Young
FLY Entertainment artiste George Young is a half Chinese, half Greek actor and presenter. Growing up in Britain, drinking tea became second nature for George, who always had tea around in this house. He has since taken his love for tea leaves across the globe to Singapore, as he often starts his day with the Classic English Breakfast tea, has a Green Tea between takes and a hot Earl Grey whenever it is available.
George is also a self-proclaimed fan of experimentation in the kitchen. He mentioned that this collaboration with Lipton and The Cufflink Club to create cocktails and mocktails with Lipton tea has woken him up to the possibilities of combining Lipton tea’s cornucopia of flavours with fresh ingredients, which allows him to concoct wonderful and creative new drinks for all his loved ones.

“We want to showcase the versatility of tea and we are thrilled to work with George Young and The Cufflink Club to create these recipes. Lipton is always looking at creating moments through our tea and we hope these cocktails and mocktails will inspire tea drinkers to create these moments whilst trying these recipes with family and friends,” said Miss Susanne Arfelt Rajamand, Marketing Manager, Unilever Singapore.
The process in creating these drinks was uninteresting one for avid tea drinker George Young, who like most of us, had no prior experience as a mixologist. Together with The Cufflink Club, George created his 3 signature drinks over a period of two months.

Innovation with more than 100 years of tea heritage With a heritage that dates back more than 100 years, Lipton offers an array of tea-based drinks, from leaf tea to tea bags, today. The classic Lipton Yellow Label Tea, made of the finest blends from Ceylon and Kenya, is synonymous for that unique consistent tea taste and signature aroma.
Although proud of their rich heritage, Lipton is certainly not afraid to innovate. Lipton’s experts broke teabag tradition to come up with the Lipton Pyramid tea bag which allow stew leaves more room to move and infuse for a better brew. Each pyramid tea bag contains whole tea leaves handpicked form top two leaves and a bud of the tea plant, flowers, herbs, or real fruit pieces and blended to ensure the delicate balance of tea and flavour. The pyramid-shaped the a bag allows optimum room for infusion, liberating the best aroma, colour and taste for the tea drinker.
