Dalliance with Sweet Tea Vodka

I know what you're thinking - has Redface lost it?  Would you dilly or dally with sweet tea vodka or any other in the family for that matter?  Hell no!  But, you do what you need when you need a cool drink- and you innovate for what whets the throat.

Without further ado:

Triple-Half-and-Half
2 oz Spiced Rum
2 oz Sweet Tea vodka
1 oz Vodka
3 Dashes Angostura Orange Bitters
Fresh Lemonade


Fill shaker halfway with fresh ice, add Rum, Vodkas, Bitters, and Lemonade.  Shake, pour into Collins glass with a few more fresh cubes.  Use cask strength spiced rum here, and go lighter on the sweet tea rather than the typical heavy-handed 2 oz pour.  The vodka is there to dilute the sweetness of the sweet tea vodka.  Be generous as hell with the bitters.












This drink, when made right, manages to balance the sweetness and pack quite a punch.  Warning also, no powdered lemonade mix, and be aware that you'll get a gross back-of-the-throat stickiness if you don't use enough bitters or you use too much sweet tea.
