Friday Cocktail Hour: Super Simple 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? Why 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!
