Sweet Tea Party
Celebrate the Kentucky Derby this weekend with a refreshing classic cocktail from the South
The 2012 Kentucky Derby, on Saturday May 5, is celebrating its 138th anniversary. There are plenty of ways to celebrate and many people will say a Mint Julep is a must-sip for those taking in the Greatest Two Minutes in Sports. However, the folks at Sweet Carolina Tea Vodka want you to think outside the box by enjoying a different classic from the American South.
This tea-flavoured vodka combines the finest handcrafted vodka with traditional Southern-style sweet tea. The result is smooth and refreshing, channeling high society and wreaths of roses. The vodka is available in six popular flavours: classic, mint, peach, raspberry, half & half and lemonade.
Put on an elaborate hat and cheer on your favourite horse while enjoying the tea vodka on the rocks or mixed into a cocktail like the one featured below.
Sweet Hurricane

Hi there,
Sorry this product isn't available in BC, as far as I can tell, only in ON through the LCBO and in SK through Saskliquor. A good substitute would be Firefly Sweet Tea Original Vodka. It's available through Spinnakers Spirit Merchants in BC for $25.
Thanks!
