Mint and lemon.

At this time I have not tried mint.

Many bottles of the original have been consumed at home, MOTM '08, and Stars '09.

you might need to bring some different bottles of this down to Tampa.

there are probably pictures somewhere.

I work w/ a guy who lived in SC for a while and today I asked him if he had heard of this "Firefly" distillery, he had not (nor had he heard of the vodka....but had tried the Sweet Tea Vodka for the 1st time down there a few weeks ago!! How ironic right?! His mother lives in NJ and their web site
has a place listed just down the road from her and his friends from SC are coming up here w/ in a few weeks, so.........................
I will soon know for myself and Im very excited

Pema... I plan on getting a bottle of the Muscadine, will let you know...

Well, I did find it in Key West at Lost Weekend. Now that the distributor link is up, I'll look for it around here. Haven't tried it yet, brought it home carefully wrapped in the suitcase today. Thinking maybe some pineapple juice might work too. Will let you know as soon as I run to the market (after I replenish my checking account ).

I found it in a liquor store a couple of miles from my apartment yesterday, $16.99. It's in the freezer, haven't tried it yet. Just plain sweet tea vodka though, they didn't have any flavors.

I really liked the plain one, I don't know that I'd really even care to try any of the flavored ones.

Ditto.

Since I have been dieting I have not given up wine or liquor but I do try to count every calorie......I just found on Livestrong.com that Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka has 66 calories and ounce.....I need to put our bottle in the freezer, we have only tried it OTR.

Funny thing....when I went to liquor store to get it they had what looked like a one litre bottle and a 1.5 litre, the tag below the smaller bottle said $24 and below the larger said $16.99 or 18.99 something like that.....I assumed it was wrong but the lady helping me said no it had something to do with the way they ordered it so.........duh....I got the large bottle.

Usually have to turn to my fave Internet sites to order the good stuff. Had to remind my favorite pub that I was a very loyal patron to get them to stock even Barcardi Gold for me. Mount Gay was totally out of the question. Every other place in town, if you ask for a dark rum, you get Myers or Capt. Morgans. NOT THE SAME. Will be in Key West in 4 days, so may be able to find some there and smuggle it home. Bless the Bottle Cap liquor store.

Check the Firefly website, they have a listing of all of there national distributors. Maybe you will find one near you.

WONDER OF WONDERS!!! I didn't even bother to check "my" liquor store here in Akron for it until today. Paid $29 a bottle for some in KW this week. Arrived home today and had to replenish the rum supply. Stopped down in the valley and low and behold, they had the same stuff I bought on Tuesday for $14.95!!! AND they had Firefly Sweet Tea. When I had checked the Firefly website, it only indicated that it could be found in the far western part of the state. I guess I should have more faith in my local distributors.

Easter with the inlaws in kitty hawk NC so stopped over at the ABC store and picked some up to try it....will be stopping again to pick up some more to take home

If you were a part of my family, the liquor would be the only "fun." hehehe

I am not one of the thumpers downstate who thinkings that OH stores need to close on Sundays and holidays. Some holidays, you really do need the excuse "gotta go get more ....." if only to keep from dealing with Uncle George and his story about the time "I opened me up a Jap sniper with a rusty spoon I made outta a discarded tin can..."






Mom pointed out it wasn't polite of me to mention that that had happened in Tarzana, in 1973....

the rasberry sweet tea vodka, though AWESOME, was a bit "potent." I tried the suggesion on the back of the bottle:

one part Firefly rasberry sweet tea vodka
one part spring water (methinks regular worked just phine)
a twist of lemon.


NOW WE'RE TALKIN'!!!

as much as i do like the firefly brand...
i just picked up this 1.75L bottle



for $16!!!!

and when i make a John Daly (mix with lemonade)... i think it might taste better

Got to try the Firefly brand down in Panama City Beach....the reg and the raspberry. YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i will be bringing a bottle home from Fla when i go to Treasure Island in a few weeks!

a little tip..
mix a little mint schnapps in.. (try a teaspoon in 2 OZ.)

MMMMMMMMMMMMM
