I know, I know … this one’s a little too new-school. I agree …. but it’s just so damned delicious that I had to break my own rule. You’ll need to buy some bottled green tea with honey, that’s about as pain-in-the-ass as this one gets, so “boo-hoo” ahead of time. I cheated and made a pitcher of these on a recent warm evening, thinking I might have overdone it and wasted some booze. I was wrong. They went quickly and a few extra neighbors dropped on by to try one. It’s the tea – juice combination; very refreshing and very tasty, they go down too easily.
Here we go –
2 oz green tea w/ honey (bottled, Lipton’s is great)
1/2 oz lime juice
1/2 oz cranberry juice
1 1/2 oz vodka
1/2 oz orange liqueur
Shake with cracked ice till cold and frothy. Pour up into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lime twist.
