Summer is on its way out, but I still have a few recipes up my sleeve! One of them is this - a most refreshing and satisfying drink that we came up with called Sweet Leaf. Think of it as a spiked Arnold Palmer, combining lemonade and sweet tea vodka. But it has to be Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka. We’ve tried a lot of different varieties and Firefly is always the top choice, hands down. We love making this drink for visits with family and friends. Enjoy responsibly!

Notes:

This recipe is for a pitcher, but the radio is 1 part sweet tea vodka to 3 parts lemonade if you want to make a smaller batch.
