Tea Cocktails

i am drinking iced red zinger with vodka and lime right now and it is really refreshing

my friend who works at a tea shop gave me a blend of pineapple payaya & white coconut teas which i plan to brew, ice, and mix with tequila at some point not too distant

can i come over 2 your house?

hot toddies w/ black tea in the winter are also fine but i cannot speak too highly of these iced tea cocktails

yah most of the ones i know are hot drinks um this seems pretty good tho:

Genteel Gentlemen’s Lemon Fizz

1 cup water
4 teaspoons black Darjeeling 2nd flush tealeaves
4 tablespoon ginger syrup*
5-6 lemons, juiced
1 cup gin
2 cups sparkling water
Tea ice cubes**

In small saucepan, bring 1 cup water to boil. Add the tealeaves and keep boiling for 15 minutes. Strain into a clean punch bowl. Use the old tealeaves for chagra (optional).

Add the lemon juice, ginger syrup, and gin to the punch bowl, and then slowly stir in the sparkling water. Add the tea ice a few minutes before serving.

always liked a gin fizz

lamp you can come over and we will get sassy on all these herbal concoctions

i am thinking a nice iced jasmine would go nicely well with st germaine and also some vodka

lamp that gingery gin thing looks tasty too

does sweet tea mix well with whiskey, i wonder, or would rum be a better choice

There is a sweet tea flavored vodka out now that I've heard people swear by!

My friend has CHAI VODKA. I have no idea if it's commercial or home-steeped. What do we make with it?? Trying to minimize the cream/milk options here since she's lactose intolerant and I'm borderline, but what else?

1 part chai vodka
3 parts chicken vindaloo
dash bitters
over cracked ice

honestly, i can't think of anything that would taste good with chai vodka. except iced tea maybe. with lemon and sugar.

I'd mix it with some dark rum and orange bitters.

I would think it might be okay with milk, in a white-russian style? I mean, chai's usually best with lots of milk anyway...otherwise *shrug*

Normally I wouldn't use vodka in a hot toddy but it could work out with the chai spicing.
