June is National Iced Tea Month! Argo Tea x CH Distillery is celebrating, how about you?!

o

In honor of National Iced Tea Month this June, Argo Tea, the premium, all-natural tea brand based in Chicago, has paired up with the innovative Chicago-based spirit producers at CH Distillery to create three signature, tea-based cocktails. The unique cocktails will be served to the public at CH Distillery & Cocktail Bar in the West Loop from June 8 until June 30!! CH Distillery is located at 564 W. Randolph Street towards the beginning of the famous restaurant row.

In addition to the fact that its National Iced Tea month, it is also patio season here in Chicago! For those who are unsure of what patio season is… because of Chicago’s long winters and chilly spring, patio season is pretty much a season long holiday. Everyone is out enjoying their favorite meals and drinks in the breeze and under the sun while the good weather lasts! Which is why I hung out at CH Distillery during mid-week, on a Wednesday and tried out all three of the signature cocktails the moment it was released on June 8th! Seriously, we Chicagoians do not play when it comes to patio season!

Anyway, if you can’t make it out to the restaurant, at least make use of that balcony, roof top, front lawn, or park as often as you can! As a matter of fact, I have included the cocktail recipes of the Argo Tea x CH Distillery collab for your enjoyment!!
