A perfect summertime cocktail. Because it’s a combination of iced tea, lemonade, and booze, I’ve dubbed it the Tipsy Arnold Palmer.
Sweet Tea with Vodka and Lemonade
Yield: 8 drinks
2 large tea bags for iced tea
1/2 cup boiling water
8 fresh mint springs
4 cups lemonade made from frozen concentrate
1/2 cup vodka
Ice cubes
8 lemon slices
Place tea bags in medium bowl. Add 1/2 cup boiling water. Let steep 4 minutes. Discard tea bags. Place mint sprigs in large pitcher; mash with muddler or handle of wooden spoon until slightly bruised. Pour in tea, lemonade, and vodka.
Fill 8 highball glasses with ice. Divide sweet tea among glasses. Garnish with lemon slices.
We’ve been drinking this for years…oh, and if you order it at a restaurant or bar, they call it a “John Daley”.
Pretty funny.
