This is the Teaser Grateful Grape ($7.20, regular sugar, regular ice), which consisted of a jasmine green tea base, grape and aloe vera.
Consumed chilled, it’s layered structure gave it visual interest, while the dewy notes of the jasmine give the drink a floral undertone that complements well with the strong grape flavour that begins with a familiar syrupy intensity before being restrained into a natural flavour by the brighter acidity of the generous grape flesh. The grape flesh is firm and crisp, while the aloe vera is slightly softer. Overall, this is a very enjoyable, fresh and fruity drink, with the only misgiving being that the trouble that some of the chunks of grape had coming up the straw.
Grateful Grape was purchased at Teaser in Sydney, Australia during January 2021.
