Southern Fruit Tea Cocktail

SOUTHERN FRUIT TEA COCKTAIL

own South, we take our fruit tea seriously. It’s a favorite beverage for just about every meal of the day and every season of the year, especially when the weather gets warm. It’s refreshing, full of my favorite citrus flavors, and easy to make. So it’s only natural that it gets a boozy twist, thus making it my absolute favorite party beverage to date. Behold, the Southern Fruit Tea Cocktail! Trust me, you’ll want to keep a pitcher of this cocktail on hand for spring and summer parties.

SOUTHERN FRUIT TEA

COCKTAIL

INGREDIENTS

2 quarts Steamed Alston Tea
1 cup lemonade
½ cup pineapple juice
½ cup orange juice concentrate thawed
1 ½ cups dark rum
sliced lemons pineapple chunks, oranges, mint, and maraschino cherries for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine all ingredients and stir well.
garnish with fresh fruit.

Something I really appreciate about this recipe is that it’s quick to make. When we’re entertaining, we’re busy running around to pick up toys, clean off tabletops, get the food on the grill, etc. The last thing we need is to spend a crazy amount of time on a drink. We need something quick and delicious every single time it’s made. Plus, I don’t know a single soul that hasn’t loved my Southern Fruit Tea Cocktail. It would be a wonderful signature cocktail for weddings or showers too. Serve it up with a cute striped straw or personalized drink stirrer for a little pizzazz. It looks great in a short cocktail glass, a highball, a wine glass, or even a water glass.

Garnishing is always a must in my book. It instantly takes things from a “drink” to a “fancy cocktail” with a garnish. Just grab a few lemons, oranges, and a pineapple. I love how the fresh fruit infuses the drink with even more flavor too. I always keep maraschino cherries in my refrigerator, so adding one of those it was a no-brainer. I love the pop of red.

So find a hammock or porch swing, sit back, and sip away with this Southern Fruit Tea Cocktail, y’ all!

Cheers,
Courtney

Orange Brown Sugar Sweet Tea

#1: Grab the vegetable peeler and an orange and let’s get started. Hold the orange firmly in one hand and, with the other hand, cut away the orange peel (the very outer, orange skin of the orange). If you get a little of the white peel, the pith (remind anyone of Ethel Thayer?) it isn’t a big deal. #2: “Muddling”. All it means, in this instance, is to mash an orange slice into the tea. Right before serving the tea, place one half of an orange slice in the bottom of each glass and muddle, or mash, the orange to release the juice and oils. Since I don’t own a muddler, I use the rounded end of my wooden spoon. Muddle with slight force; just a couple of pushes and twists should be enough.
