Okay, here’s my blog post about making a lemon iced tea and vodka cocktail:

So, the other day I was feeling like something refreshing but with a little kick. I had some iced tea in the fridge and a bottle of vodka, and a lightbulb went off. Why not mix them? I’m no bartender, but I figured it couldn’t be that hard. And you know what? It wasn’t! This is how it went down.

Getting Started

First, I grabbed a tall glass from the cupboard. Nothing fancy, just a regular glass. Then I filled it up with ice. I like my drinks super cold, so I used a lot of ice.

Mixing It Up

Next, I poured in the iced tea. I used about two-thirds of the glass, leaving some room for the vodka and, importantly, a bit of space to stir without spilling everything. Honestly, I just eyeballed it. After that, I added the vodka. I didn’t measure it precisely – maybe a shot or two. I figured I could always add more later if it wasn’t strong enough.

Lemon Time

I had a lemon in the fridge, so I cut a couple of wedges. I squeezed one wedge into the drink and tossed the other one in the glass for garnish. It looked a bit more presentable that way. You could use other fruit or mint, even.

Stir and Taste

Then came the important part – the mixing! I took a long spoon and stirred everything together. I made sure the vodka and iced tea were properly combined. Once it was all mixed, I took a sip. Not bad! It was cold, refreshing, and had that nice little vodka bite. I ended up adding a little more vodka because I wanted it a bit stronger. But again, that’s just me.

Final Touches

  • I played around with the sweetness a little. Some iced teas are sweeter than others.
  • Mine was just right, but you could add a little simple syrup or sugar if you wanted.
  • And there you have it – a super easy lemon iced tea and vodka.

It’s a simple drink, nothing complicated, but it’s perfect for a hot day or when you just want something easy and tasty. If you want to make one of these yourself, go for it! It’s super easy and you’ll probably love it!
