Back Porch Bourbon Tea

I dare you to look at these ingredients and not drool, at least a little. Blood oranges, lemons, limes, liqueur, mint, and Jim Beam … oh my. It’s too perfect. A little sweet, a little citrus, a nice little kick – and wow!

This is not a last-minute drink, though. It’s probably not the best recipe to make when friends pop by unannounced. You’ll need to add the fruit to the tea to allow it to infuse overnight.

You’ll need to give it a good shake with a cocktail shaker. But as I’ve said before, a Mason Jar with a lid will do just fine.

Need a reason to make Back Porch Bourbon Tea?

Let’s you and I lay out a quick and easy get together for you and your friends. Any excuse to sip a cold drink on a warm evening with the people you adore, right?

I suggest you create a little buffet with some of these delicious recipes. Southern Crab Cakes, Jalapeno Bacon Cheese Balls, Mini Lemon Cakes are a few everyone might enjoy.

Bourbon!

Bourbon is the only native spirit in the United States. We make it right here in the USA and I would say we do a pretty spectacular job. Liquor.com has a handy cheat sheet to help you choose the right bourbon for your tastes. Whether you choose a tried and true like Jim Beam, or a smooth Maker’s Mark, get the best you can afford for this tea. Taste is everything!
