- Tea Time Secret: For the best taste, use freshly brewed sweet tea that's been thoroughly chilled before mixing.
- Garnish Like a Pro: When slapping mint leaves, do it gently to release the oils without bruising the leaves, ensuring a fresh, aromatic experience.
- Vodka Selection: Choose a smooth, clean vodka that won't overpower the delicate tea and lemonade flavors.
- Customization Hack: Adjust the vodka quantity to your preference or make it a mocktail by omitting the alcohol entirely.
- Presentation Matters: Serve in clear glasses to showcase the beautiful layers and garnishes, making your cocktail Instagram-worthy!
