Fireball Iced Tea Ingredients

Iced Tea

Summertime is the perfect time for sun tea. Make a pitcher by day, enjoy this lovely libation by night. If sun tea isn’t your cup of tea (pun intended), brew up some black tea.

Black tea is described as bold, malty, earthy, or smoky. All characteristics that go great with the spiciness of Fireball.

If you’re a little more mellow, go for green tea. Green tea is lighter and has a grassier flavor profile.

Fruit-infused teas would also pair well with Fireball Whiskey. Any of these flavored teas would pair lovely with spicy notes:

• Apricot
• Orange
• Cherry
• Blueberry
• Apple
• Pear

Your local tea shop will help you pick out the right tea for you. Support local specialty shops. Without them we will be left with tea from big chains like Walmart.

Fireball Whiskey

Fireball tastes like sweet & spicy cinnamon candies with a little bit of vanilla and cracked pepper. It begs to be paired with a refreshing glass of tea.

If cinnamon isn’t your thing but you want iced tea with a kick, try any of these whiskeys:

• Jack Daniels Honey Whiskey
• Bird Dog Blackberry Whiskey
• Bird Dog Peach Whiskey
• Apple Crown Royal
• Buffalo Trace Bourbon
• Old Crow – if you’re on a budget

Chocolate goes great with whiskey, try these healthy Fudgy Brownie Bites.

Ice & Garnish

Lots or ice is needed on a hot summer’s day. Fill that glass to the brim!

Feeling fancy? Gussy up that cocktail with zest and a slice of orange.
