Method
Prepare Glass & Base
Chill and ice
Chill a pint glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes. Fill the chilled pint glass about three-quarters full with large ice cubes (or crushed ice if you prefer a slushier texture).
Measure Twisted Tea: Open a 12 oz can or bottle of Twisted Tea and pour it gently into the prepared pint glass over the ice. Pour to leave room for additional ingredients and a splash of club soda.
Build Flavor
Add brewed tea: Pour 2 oz of very strong cold-brewed black tea into the pint. This reinforces the tea flavor without diluting alcohol content and gives the drink depth.
Add acidity and sweetness: Add 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice and 0.5 oz simple syrup directly to the glass. These balance the sweetness of the canned tea and brighten the overall flavor.
Add bitters: Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters to introduce aromatic complexity and balance the sweet/sour profile.
Finish & Garnish
Light stir: Give the pint 3 gentle turns with a bar spoon to combine ingredients without flattening the soda.
