Mixers & Fixers – Part I

Hi there. Haven’t seen you around… do you come here often? Really? Me too. I’m surprised we haven’t run into each other before.
This is my first in a weekly series of adult-beverage recipes. We’ve made our fair share here, and I feel like it’s time to show the world a whole new way to enjoy Sweet Leaf Tea. So if you’re ready to enjoy some delicious alco-treats (responsibly) then stay tuned.
Today’s drink is a staple for the Sweet Leaf family. We’ve got a long-standing (long-stumbling?) relationship with the wonderful people at Tito’s Handmade Vodka, also based here in Austin. Here’s how to make a “Tito’s Sweet-o”:
2 parts Mint & Honey Sweet Leaf Tea
1 part Tito’s Handmade Vodka
Pretty simple, right? You’ll inevitably find the right proportions for you – I like mine a bit stronger. It’s hard to mess up a drink made with two perfect ingredients. If you’re into presentation, I suggest garnishing with a sprig of mint or a lemon wedge. Serve it over ice (of course). It’s got to be Tito’s and it’s got to be Mint & Honey if you want to try a true “Tito’s Sweet-o,” but it’s no surprise that we’ve mixed other flavors and Tito’s with great results.
More to come…
If you fancy yourself a mixologist, feel free to share your concoctions with me. I promise to try as many recipes as I can, and if they’re delicious, I’ll post it on the blog and on our website. So, what kind of Sweet Leaf drinks do you mix up?
Cheers,

Ahhh, yes. And just in time for the long weekend. I tend to switch up my Sweet-Os. Sometimes Mint & Honey tempts my taste buds and sometimes I stick with my fave Mango. Really, it’s a win win situation.
