Tipsy Arnold Palmer

Looking for a refreshing summer cocktail perfect for your next barbeque?  This just may be it!  It is very refreshing and very smooth.  You won't be sorry you tried this one!  I changed it up even further.  I used Celestial Seasoning Raspberry Zinger tea for an extra kick.  Delish!  To make this you will need:
  • 2 large tea bags for iced tea
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 8 fresh mint sprigs
  • 4 cups lemonade (I used Minute Maid from the dairy aisle)
  • 1/2 cup vodka
  • Ice cubes
  • 8 lemon slices
1.)  Place tea bags in largge cup.  Add the 1 cup water. Microwave for two minutes.  Let steep 4 minutes. Discard tea bags. Place mint sprigs in large pitcher; mash with muddler or handle of wooden spoon until slightly bruised. Pour in tea, lemonade, and vodka. DO AHEAD: cover and chill so flavors meld.
Fill 8 highball glasses with ice. Divide sweet tea among glasses. Garnish with lemon slices.
Ingredient tip: To streamline this recipe, you can use one cup Sweet Tea Vodka.
