Firefly actually uses muscadine grapes not Muscat, muscadines are local here (Charleston,SC).
I just started working in a Persian bar/restaurant (for a short time)and made this drink up...because Persians do drink a lot of tea but the difference was I used Iced tea, Vodka, drop of mint liquor and fresh Mint leaf ...and called it Teamartini....haha..funny to see it here...I also made a different version with bourbon. that more like a cold toddy
Firefly also has a vodka http://copilka.info/ flavored with Muscat grapes. I hear its just as good!!!
Made something similar to this in my restaurant, but called in an Iced Teani. Lemon vodka, tea infused simple syrup and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Pretty tasty.
Sounds Good! An even better delight is a concoction I've construed using 1 1/2 oz of Firefly Vodka, 1 1/2 oz of mint simple syrup and 2 oz of Lemonade. It may need a splash of H20 as well ( depending on taste ).
I love Sweet Tea and I love vodka! Pairing these two was a genius plan. A friend turned me on to Firefly's SweetTea Vodkaand its great! Im going to run out and get some vermouth to try this Martini tomorrow. Firefly also has a vodka flavored with Muscat grapes. I hear its just as good.
I wonder if sweet tea vodka (Firefly) and orange bitters would be any good? Hmm, something to experiment with. Might need to cut it with water.
Yes, it's called "iced tea" ;)
Do they have a virgin style to this drink? It looks good.
