At the St. Patty's Day Parade, I was able to try some sweet tea vodka (it wasn't Firefly and let's not go into the reason why I have no recollection what brand it was, ok?) and it was absolutely incredible. It had the dark, strong taste of home-brewed sweet tea with a bit of the alcohol burn. I am not the kind of girl who can handle straight liquor on the rocks but this was really sublime.
Needless to say, I've been dying to try this again - you don't have the heart of a real Southerner if you say it's not captured your interest - and there were quite a few different flavors to choose from including mint, raspberry, lemon, original and peach. So, I picked up two lemons and two peaches. (Should have also grabbed a mint but will try that next time.)
Now, I did add two to three ice cubes to water it down just a touch and it really helped bring out some of the flavor (and truth be told was easier for me to drink). I love the peach flavor, so that was the winner for me, but I also enjoyed lemon, too.
The Firefly website also includes recipes you can try and lets you upload your own, too. One recipe is the "Blood-tea" Mary (with lemon flavor tea vodka) and it sounds incredible!
They also have regular vodka AND Muscadine Wine Vodka! Sounds like they's some kindred spirits over thatta way!
