Cocktail

Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Prepare glass

    Fill a highball glass (12–16 oz) with ice to chill while you mix.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    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.

  6. 6

    Add bitters (optional)

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

  7. 7

    Garnish and serve

    Garnish with a lemon wheel or wedge on the rim and a sprig of fresh mint if desired. Serve immediately with a straw or stirring stick.
