This Citrus Bourbon Iced Tea is just the refreshing summer drink with a kick you have been looking for! This blood orange, lemon and lime bourbon sweet tea is great by the pitcher. Serve it at your next cookout.
Bourbon Iced Tea
Freshly brewed tea with lemon and blood orange wedges is spiked with bourbon and blood orange liqueur. Garnished with fresh mint leaves and more citrus.
What are some good things to mix with bourbon whiskey?
Of course, sweet tea is a great choice. Cola and ginger ale are also a popular mixers for this liquor. Bourbon is a popular choice for sours and collins drinks as well.
If you also want a non-alcoholic fruit tea to serve, try my Raspberry Iced Tea or Peach Iced Tea… you could always spike those too if you want.
