Hey, y’all! It doesn't get much more Kentucky than a Bourbon Sweet Tea Cocktail. This is a southern drink fit to be sipped on the porch all summer long!
If you love sweet tea, like we all do down here in the South, this is the drink for you!

Pro Tips For Making This Recipe
1. I designed this recipe to be a large-batch cocktail; it's perfect to serve at parties or in a pitcher while you are out enjoying the company of loved ones. That said, you can certainly scale it down if need be!
2. You can absolutely make your own sweet tea for this. In my family, in true deep-south fashion, we make sweet tea syrup. That said, if you plan to pre-purchase sweet tea, buy a nice quality one (such as Milo's). If you only have unsweetened tea in the house, I'd recommend using simple syrup and sweetening it to your taste preference.
