Sweet Tea Signature Drink

On my last birthday in June, my aunt gave me a bottle of sweet tea infused vodka, Firefly, from South Carolina. This aunt of mine isn't a drinker. Her favorite drinks to order at a bar are Shirley Temples and Roy Rogers. I knew it was going to taste really good.

She had gone on a business trip to Savannah, Georgia and she said she drank it every day, the whole time she was there. She bought a few bottles to bring home with her and then she actually ordered a case because none of the liquor stores locally carried it! Plus...She had talked so much about it that now everyone had to try it.

Soon after my birthday I cracked open my bottle. We mixed it based on the directions on the bottle which were to just add in some water, ice and a twist of lemon. It tasted exactly like Sweet Tea only you got a little warm and loose after a few sips. But the real yumminess came as soon as we had some lemonade in the house. Firefly is now available in Seattle at Young's Market.

My favorite recipe is so simple, The Firelfy Spiked Palmer:
1 part Firefly
1 part lemonade
Lemon Twist
Serve in a tall glass over ice and mix.

If you visit their website, you can find a whole bunch of other recipes that sound delicious too.

I would serve this at a casual, outdoor, rustic wedding since it conjures images of sunshine, porch-sitting and laughing with friends.
