Sweet Tea with Vodka and Lemonade

Bon Appétit : July 2009

yield: Makes 8

A perfect summertime cocktail. Because it's a combination of iced tea, lemonade, and booze, weâve dubbed it the Tipsy Arnold Palmer.

Ingredients

⢠2 large tea bags for iced tea

⢠1/2 cup boiling water

⢠8 fresh mint sprigs

⢠4 cups lemonade made from frozen concentrate

⢠1/2 cup vodka

⢠Ice cubes

⢠8 lemon slices

Preparation

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.

DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.

Fill 8 highball glasses with ice. Divide sweet tea among glasses. Garnish with lemon slices.

Ingredient tip: To streamline this recipe, you can use one cup Sweet Tea Vodka from South Carolina's Firefly Distillery in place of the tea and the vodka. For a list of distributors, go to fireflyvodka.com.
