Georgia Sweet Tea

Long weekend = Cocktail Time

This one is perfect for a hot summer day.  It’s a little sweet, a little sour, and it’s got a nice little boozy kick.  If you love lemonade, add 1 cup of homemade lemonade for even more lemon-y goodness.  For an Arnold Palmer Style Cocktail Tea, you can even go so far as to make that a 50/50 blend of tea and lemonade.

This was our cocktail of choice for the 4TH of July weekend.  And, it will stay a favorite through the rest of this lovely summer.  We’re sure of that.
