After reading all the buzz about Firefly's Sweet Tea vodka I knew I had to try it. I consider myself to be a huge fan of a nice, cold, refreshing glass of sweet tea - almost a connoisseur if you will, and I was skeptical about whether this product would live up to its hype. Well, let me tell you.... it TOTALLY did!

I stumbled upon this by accident, really. I had read a couple of reviews of this product online and was interested, but I was just browsing in the liquor store looking for nothing in particular when I saw it on the shelf and remembered the good things I had heard about it. So, of course I knew I had to take a bottle home with me. My sister and I had planned a busy day of relaxing by the pool, and I thought this might be the perfect companion. It just sounds refreshing, doesn't it?

We weren't sure at first what to mix it with. There is a recipe on the bottle for a Southern Fly which is 1 half Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka, 1 half spring water over ice and garnished with a lemon. I thought this sounded pretty good, but an online search revealed this stuff is also delicious mixed with lemonade. Well, the Simply Lemonade at the grocery store was a whopping 110 calories per 8 oz serving, plus the 66 calories per 1 oz serving of vodka would lead to a pretty high-cal drink, so we went with the 5 calorie per serving Crystal Light lemonade. I couldn't believe how good this mixture was! It was so light and refreshing you couldn't even tell there was any alcohol in there at all! It tasted exactly like lemonade mixed with a splash of tea. Delish! It was the perfect summertime sidekick.

If anyone has tried the Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka in any other drink recipes that turned out good, let me know!
