Maple Bourbon Sweet Tea Cocktail
Yield:
14 (6 ounce) cocktails
Grab a ready-to-pour Luzianne Sweet Tea Gallon and your go-to bourbon to make this tailgating and party classic. Pour it into ice-packed “bucket cups” or go-cups, or double the recipe (use a whole Luzianne Sweet Tea Gallon jug), and serve it in a punch bowl over a block of ice for a game-day win.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pure New England maple syrup
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 64 ounces Luzianne® Sweet Tea (1/2 of a Luzianne Sweet Tea Gallon jug)
- 12 ounces (1 1/2 cups) bourbon
- 2 to 4 dashes cinnamon bitters, optional
- Ice, for serving
- Cinnamon sticks, for garnish
- Thinly sliced lemon wheels, for garnish
Directions
- In a pitcher, combine the maple syrup and lemon juice; stir well until the maple syrup has dissolved. Add the tea and bourbon; stir until fully blended. Add the bitters, if desired.
- Pour into ice-filled drink containers (such as 32-ounce drink buckets, go cups or glasses) and garnish with cinnamon sticks and lemon wheels.
- This recipe can be doubled and served in a punch bowl with a block of ice.
