Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka
Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka is the one that started it
all. In just months, the Vodka from this small South Carolina
distillery had expanded from just its home states to 40 states around
the country! Firefly tastes almost EXACTLY like the Sweet Tea
elixir that you can find all over the south. And this is infused
with tea grown about 5 miles from the distillery, on perhaps the only
Tea plantation in America.

Jeremiah Weed Sweet Tea Vodka
While Firefly started the whole Sweet Tea Vodka craze, others soon
followed. The Jeremiah Weed tastes very similar to the Firefly,
with perhaps just a touch more sweetness. But it’s all here, too;
big, fresh-brewed iced tea flavor, and no kick at all. Try this
mixed 50/50 with water; it tastes just like Iced Tea, and goes down
easy.

Sweet Carolina Vodka
Proof that this whole Sweet Tea thing has caught on and is going ‘Big
Time’: a distillery in MAINE is making a Sweet Tea Vodka named SWEET
CAROLINA. This seems to be a touch less sweet than either the
Firefly or the Jeremiah Weed, but has perhaps a touch more actual Iced
Tea flavor as well. Like the others, this is right around 70
proof and makes a perfect cocktail!

Sweet Tea Vodka Cocktails
Sweet Tea Vodka Iced Tea
Sweet Tea Vodka
Water
Ice, if desired
The easiest cocktail you can make is simply equal parts Sweet Tea Vodka and water.
Our recommendation is to pour it over crushed ice (and perhaps using a
little LESS water). You want your ice to dilute fast at first,
then very slowly. I suggest you first put a little crushed ice, or the
tiny cubes from an ice maker, in the bottom and pour in your Firefly.
Stir well, then add big, cold cubes from the freezer. This way, the
drink is both ready to drink sooner, and may be sipped more slowly.

Sweet Tea Vodka
Lemonade
Mint Leaf to garnish
Ice
This is simply an alcoholic variation on the classic Southern cocktail, the Arnold Palmer.
Mix equal parts Sweet Tea Vodka and lemonade and pour into a highball glass over lots of ice.
If you are making your own lemonade, consider backing off the sugar
slightly, as the Vodkas all have a fair bit of sweetness.
Enjoy! (By the way, these go down ridiculously easily, so be careful when you stand up!
