Yes, one of my favorite beverages has it's very own day! I'm all for a big glass of sweet iced tea, it's a part of my Southern roots! But today, I thought it would be fun to share some other iced tea recipes.
Grown up iced tea.
Yes ma'am.

Like this Tuaca Tea

or this Tokyo Tea

- ½ oz. gin
- ½ oz. 1800® Tequila
- ½ oz. triple sec
- ½ oz. pineapple juice
- Mix in a glass filled with ice
- Garnish with a pineapple slice
I don't know about y'all, but this sounds pretty amazing. Of course, you might be saying...these don't actually have tea in them. (imposters!) So, how about this one...
LA Iced Tea
- 2 oz. Three Olives Grape Vodka
- 4 oz. sweetened iced tea
- Mix in a glass filled with ice
- Garnish with a lemon wedge
I can think of a lot of occasions where a little vodka spiked iced tea would be a very good thing. Of course, not everyone is a lush drinks alcoholic beverages, so this Southern Iced Fruit Tea may be just the thing. I'm pretty sure I'm making this for Father's Day weekend. I think it sounds delicious and refreshing for the summer!
What about you? Are you iced tea drinkers? Go get you a big ol' glass of sweet tea and celebrate National Iced Tea Day!

The alcoholic beverage recipes and photos were provided by Three Olives® Vodka, which is a super-premium vodka brand and offers over 20 different flavors like Cake,
Bubble, Dude and S’mores! The
brand’s flavored 70-proof vodka is 35 percent alcohol and its 80-proof clear vodka
is 40 percent alcohol, with natural fruits infused into most of the flavored
varieties. Three Olives also lends itself readily to cocktail mixing, blending
easily with lemon lime soda, fruit juices, club soda, or one or two more nuanced
mixers (like iced tea!) I was not compensated in any way for this post, I just thought it would be fun!
Growing-up in south Florida iced-tea was not readily available unless it was Lipton in a can ( gasp) and of ours, a long iced tea with a variety of liquor.
ReplyDeleteLiving in NOrth Florida Iced-tea is heaven sent in these neck of the woods.
Thanks for sharing.

I usually have mine unsweetened (I'm from the north, don't hold it against me!) but I LOVE iced tea. In the summer I put a big jug outside all the time to make sun tea. I swear it tastes better that way somehow ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I loved iced tea and my husband probably drinks more Snapple than anyone on the planet...would love to mix some of these into the rotation
