Method
Cocktail
- 1
Prepare glass
Fill a highball glass (12–16 oz) with ice to chill while you mix.

Mix base
In a cocktail shaker (or stirring glass) add 2 oz Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, and 0.25 oz simple syrup if you prefer a sweeter drink.

Shake or stir
If using a shaker, add a small handful of ice and shake vigorously for 8–10 seconds to chill and slightly dilute. If you prefer a less-diluted drink, simply stir the mixture with ice for 10–15 seconds.

Assemble
Discard the ice from the chilled highball glass (or leave it if you like it cold) and add fresh ice. Strain the shaken/stirred vodka mixture into the glass over ice.

Top with lemonade
Gently pour 4 oz lemonade over the vodka base. Stir once or twice gently to combine, taking care not to over-dilute.

Add bitters (optional)
If using, add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters on top and give a very light stir to incorporate the aromatic notes.
