Green Tea & Honey Cocktail

You know what I love almost as much as mac & cheese? Cheap booze. You can’t judge me because I know you agree with me. I happened across this Stoli Sticki vodka on one of my many Target excursions and when I looked at the price tag, I contemplated buying about 6 bottles. How do you pass up a fifth of vodka for $7? That’s right, you don’t pass it up.

The tricky part was coming up with a drink that would be good with honey flavored vodka. I’m not sure if everyone else is a fan of tea, but I am and so I decided to make a cocktail with some iced tea! I have some Bigelow Green Peach tea in my cupboard (about 4 boxes to be exact) and I live on it in the summer when I can make a huge pitcher of it and leave it in the fridge. I figured I could spare a bag or two to test this cocktail. It was completely worth it. If you’re an iced tea drinker and happen across this vodka, especially if it’s $7, you should pick up a bottle and get creative!

Ingredients

2 oz. Stoli Sticki vodka
6 oz. iced green tea
1 Tbsp. simple syrup

Simple Syrup Recipe

To make simple syrup, just heat 2-cups of water on medium-high heat and add 2-cups of white sugar. Simmer until all of the sugar has dissolved. I store mine in the fridge in a container like the one above.

I also made this with some store bought, unsweetened black iced tea and really enjoyed that drink, as well. Keep your eye out at your local grocery store for clearance booze. A lot of times it is flavored, out of season or unpopular stuff, but it never hurts to try it!
