I've been dreaming about this cocktail for quite a while, but I was just waiting for Spring to finally arrive. This drink is perfect to sip on the porch at night, or serve at a backyard barbecue. If you like sweet tea, give this recipe a try!
Mango + Plum Sweet Tea Cocktail, Serves One
3 ounces tea (I used Rooibos De Provence from David's Tea)
2 ounces fresh orange juice
1 ounce bourbon (I used Bulleit)
2 ounces Jeremiah Weed Sweet Tea Vodka
plum and mango, cut into cubes
Mix tea, orange juice, bourbon and sweet tea vodka in a short glass. Add cubes of fruit and serve with ice. Optional: garnish with fresh mint leaves.
I can tell this cocktail will be one of my new spring/summer favorites. It's sweet (but not too sweet), fruity and refreshing. I think it would be fun to try a mixed berry version next!
I made a larger batch to store in my fridge overnight. It's a great way to allow the flavors to infuse more. I love having ready-made cocktails for parties too. It saves so much time to have a few options that guests can serve themselves!
Are you a sweet tea fan? xo. Elsie

I don’t drink alcohol, but even this sounds tasty to me. Maybe I’ll try coming up with a non-alcoholic version!
Two of my favorite fruits in a cocktail – YUM!

Love from Paris
sounds tasty, do you strain it before serving though? I’m not sure about the tea in there being loose and getting bitter

Looks like an absolute treat and a serious rival to Pimms! Is it not too sticky or will the alcohol counteract that? The Gent http://www.twentyfirstcenturygent@blogspot.com
