Friday Cocktail Hour: Sweet Tea Vodka Lemonade Smash

Looking for a simple cocktail to try this weekend that requires little to no effort? Try this sweet tea vodka smash- Smash?

Because if you are not careful, that’s what you’ll be after a couple of glasses.

I first found Firefly on a girl’s trip to Charleston, SC years and years ago.

This stuff is strong.

And dangerous.

It tastes just like sweet tea, but it is 100% vodka. Add a little fresh lemon juice, pour over ice and you are finished. I love to top this off with a bit of ginger beer for even more bite. Cheers to the weekend!

Notes

• You can dress up this cocktail by pouring into a martini glasses
• Try floating a dehydrated slice of citrus for a little polish or rubbing the rim of your glass with lemon juice .
• Pour ginger beer over the top for a cocktail with even more bite.
