Texas Tea

We're adopting a southern recipe this week: the Texas Tea. Okay, the origins probably do not lie in the area of Texas as this is yet another "tea" style recipe that no doubt branched off of the Long Island Iced Tea. The big difference in this cocktail is the inclusion of Bourbon as a spirit. Bourbon brings its own flavor and finish to the drink making this a cocktail all its own.
You don't have to be from Texas to enjoy the potent flavors of the Texas Tea Recipe.

great liquors
awesome! I usually use cheaper liquors and cut back on the tequila a tad bit. It's good to see what it's like when it's made with a better grade of spirits! Made these last weekend and everyone loved them! Glad I got a recipe submitted too!-Arnold A
the good stuff
how long does the fresh sweet sour mix last??
Sweet Sour
I usually keep mine for a few days, but the simple syrup that I make has "preservatives" in it (vodka). I usually put a shot or half-shot of vodka in it to preserve it a bit longer. I've had it for over a week in the fridge and I've not died yet.

With the citrus, if it starts smelling/tasting off-taste then I make new ones. But, I try to make only an oz. or so at a time. I keep the simple syrup for weeks (mixed with vodka) and put the lime/lemons into it before I use it.
Ginger liquor
Oh, wow, never heard about such thing. Do want!
Proud to be awesome.
