Vodka Ice Tea ??

Goodie2shoes — Mon, 07 Jul 2025 01:52:03 GMT

Sitting here watching TV and I just saw a commercial for

Sun Cruiser Vodka Ice Tea. What the heck ?? anyone heard of that or tried it ? I don't drink any kind of alcohol, my drink of choice is water, coffee and Sparkling Ice Lemon flavored water. I would never drink anything like that but I thought wow ! What kind of drink will they come up with next ?

The Vodka Iced Tea Cocktail has been around for as long as I can remember - its just vodka, iced tea and a little sweetener. And I should add, it's pretty darn good.

People put liquor in a LOT of things. I have used wine in different récipés when I used to cook. When I retired, the kitchen closed...

I seldom drink it, because it has no nutritional value, and is empty calories. (I think the last time was some champagne at a college graduation party.)

Don't ever ask for a Long Island Iced Tea when you go to a restaurant. It contains vodka, rum, gin, and tequila. Don't think it contains any actual tea.

@AuntMame , Don't forget a splash of cola. It tastes like tea and is powerful.

I would go with Vodka and Arnold Palmer ... which is half lemonade and half iced tea, and a very refreshing combination.

Even if you don't drink alcohol, get a little reckless and try lemonade and iced tea, just for the heck of it.

Lemonade and iced tea together ? I like the Sparkling ice lemon water as I noted but adding ice tea to it? I might have to try that !

Arnold Palmers have been around since the 60s. Have you really never heard of them? They're in every grocery store usually by the Arizona brand, but there are many other brands.

@Goodie2shoes What next? How about "electric Lemonade"? A can of lemonade concentrate, just reconstitute replacing One of the cans of water with Vodka.

I don't know what is in "Long Island Ice Tea" but it came in a tall glass and packed a punch. Wouldn't feel it until standing up? Tried it 30 years ago.

"Twisted Tea" seems popular with boaters and outside concert goers, as noticed people drinking that. I have seen Ads.

I don't buy any of those pre made drinks, but often put vodka in my fresh brewed tea. Flavored vodkas are especially good and refreshing. Also, try it with peach schnapps.

@Travone Never tried iced tea with Peach Schnapps! I'll be trying it. Lots of ice! Thanks!

We drink Celestial Cold Brew Half and Half Iced Tea and also Southern Breeze Half and Half Cold Brew Iced Tea, both come with a little sweetener but no sugar. Boxes are tea bags.

Yes. Also known as a "Half and Half." My husband really likes to drink this mixed drink flavor combo. He says that it's very refreshing to drink, for those who like to drink either lemonade or iced tea. It's one of his favorite beverages.

When I used to drink mixed drinks years ago, I had a Long Island Iced Tea @UpNorthGorgy It was made by mixing a cola with Kahlua. It did taste exactly like iced tea and it did "pack a punch," like you described.

I have heard of "Long island ice tea" and I know it's been around for a long time but as I noted, I don't drink any kind of alcohol so I have no clue what it taste like. Many years ago up until the mid 80's my drink of choice was Bud Light but I no longer drink any alcohol. Just for laughs what's the most popular cocktail ? ( I still won't be trying it)

@Goodie2shoes down here in the south we have been drinking Arnold Palmers for decades. A good way to cool down after a round of golf or just because.

There are actually canned AP's in the grocery store BUT not nearly as good at a restaurant or pub with fresh iced tea.

One of the favorites in this area is a Moscow Mule (vodka and ginger beer). Ginger beer is not alcoholic ---FYI and served in copper mugs OR just a plain vodka and cranberry juice.
