Sweet Tea and Bourbon Cocktail

---

Sweet tea and Bourbon are two favorite Southern drinks. Put them together and you’ve got a perfect Southern summer cocktail.

Let’s start with the sweet tea. If you don’t already have a recipe try this –

• 3 tea bags
• 2 tbs. sugar (or to your taste)
• Juice from 1/2 lemon
• A few mint leaves

Fill a 16 ounce measuring cup 8 ounces of boiling water. Add 3 teabags, sugar, lemon juice, and mint. Remove the bags when the tea is good and dark. Fill the measuring cup with ice and when it melts strain the tea into a liter bottle. Top it off with cold water and refrigerate.

Now the cocktail –

• 1 ½ oz. Bourbon
• 4 oz. sweet tea

Pour the Bourbon and tea over ice in a rock glass. Garnish with a slice of lemon and a sprig of mint.
