One of my readers sent this in yesterday. I asked permission to post it because it contains lots of good info for sweet tea vodka fans:
I am a regular reader of your blog, and I moved out to Charleston from Memphis six months ago. Sweet tea vodka is huge out there. It’s now the number one selling flavored vodka in South Carolina and a huge favorite in summertime. Here’s the proper way to mix it: equal parts sweet tea vodka and water, a generous wedge of lemon, and a sprig of mint. The Charlestonians have even altered the Arnold Palmer (half lemonade, half sweet tea) into a John Daly version (obviously substituting the sweet tea for the vodka version). It’s a great “roadie” drink. Charleston recently started enforcing its public drinking laws, so whenever I’m walking downtown I mix a sweet tea vodka and water in a solo cup. No cop can tell the difference. Enjoy.
