Ingredients

3/4 cup fresh mint leaves
1 lemon, sliced
1 Tbsp sugar
3 cups sweet tea
1 cup bourbon
ice
fresh mint, for garnishing

Instructions

In a large pitcher, combine mint leaves, lemon, and sugar. Use a wooden spoon and muddle to release essential oils in mint. Add sweet tea and bourbon. Pour into glasses filled with ice and garnish

Notes

Muddling the mint is a must if you want your drink to taste minty.

We love that this recipe is served in a pitcher but if you want to make one drink use these measurements: 2 Tablespoons mint, 2 lemon slices, 1 tsp sugar, 3/4 cup sweet tea, 1/4 cup bourbon.

Perfect Pairing

These Oven Roasted Jalapeño Poppers make a great snack to enjoy with this cocktail
