I'm in BIG trouble now!

Those of you who know me know that on occasion I have been known to

have a drink or two.

No, I did not get arrested

, rather I also

enjoy on occasion the taste of a certain soft drink.

Well, living in the south there is one other drink

that is a must, SWEET TEA!!

There are some evil forces at work in South Carolina. We have the only

tea plantation in the U.S. down Charleston way. It also appears that down

'round there we also have a muscadine grape winery. This is where the

evil starts to rear it's ugly head. This winery decided to make a muscadine

vodka and did well with it. Well, I am here to tell you that all H E double

hockey sticks (LL) has broken out. They have gone and made a..........

sweet tea vodka called Firefly. They are using the tea grown right here as

well. I have sampled this (Stu and I) and can tell you (we emptied the

bottle in under an hour, just sampling of course) this stuff is too good.

I just chilled it first then pored it over ice, WOW.

The bottle suggests over ice with some spring water and a slice of lemon.

I fear what the future holds for me, but I will try a "slash" of anything.

Whew. Virginia's not on "the list." Lord knows I'd have to take a whack at that one!

Maybe it will liven up your dormant personality a bit.

...or make you invisible.

None close to the house, but within reasonable driving distance.

Do you just drink it completely unsweet or do you add some kind of flavor to it? I've tried unsweet tea and it was GROSS!!!

Just lemon if I have one. Drink my coffee straight too. I think if you start out adding sugar/cream/whatever to coffee and tea from the get go, you never develop a taste for the undoctored stuff. I drink a ton of tea, both iced and hot, and there's no way I could handle all that sugar.
