Tea Tini

I really like this Tea Tini on spring and summer afternoons when a Long Island Iced Tea is too tall and too alcoholic but a glass of ordinary iced tea isn’t enough. Use a light iced tea for this refreshing vodka Martini and, of course, fresh squeezed lemon juice. This martini also begs for a splash of flavor and adding a small amount of berry, lavender, rosemary or chamomile to the steeping tea.

Ingredients:

  • 1 3/4 oz vodka
  • 1 oz sweet iced tea
  • 1/4 oz fresh lemon juice
  • lemon wedge for garnish

Preparation:

  1. Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
  2. Shake well.
  3. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass rimmed with sugar.
  4. Garnish with the lemon wedge.
