Has anyone here ever tried "Firefly"? It's a 70 proof, Vodka infused Sweet Tea. I know you folks north of the Mason-Dixon Line don't drink "Sweet Tea"( I have a Son-in-Law from Maryland who told me so!)This stuff is made and bottled in Wadmalaw Island, SC, for Firefly Distillery in Auburndale, Fla. You're supposed to mix it 50/50 with distilled water, with a lemon slice. I just keep mine in the freezer and it gets kind of thick and syrupy. Good after dinner drink with a good cigar.

Wow, not too many people have heard of Wadmalaw Island. I'm surprised, I'm from Charleston.

I thought you were refering to my fav discontinued TV series, but the drink is even better. I'm getting some asap.

My neighbor likes to get drunk on that stuff.

As for a cigar pairing.......I'd avoid the lemon........citric acid deadens the taste buds.

I have the entire set on DVD, including four unaired episodes, plus the movie "Serenity". Fun stuff.

Yes I have tried it. I mix it 50/50 with sweet tea and a few cubes of ice. Great drink, but be-careful a few glasses of sweet tea will have you crawling the floor:)

#6 Tru dat. I'd never seen the series. Good buddy of mine (the one that came to Cfest with me this year) turned me onto the movie...then the show. Went back and watched the movie after seeing the TV shows, and the movie had even more meaning. Too bad they killed it after one season (would have loved to see more of that...um, surrogate, too).

I am a leaf on the wind....

Ever make "summer beer?"

Mix vodka, beer (Corona seems to be the preferred beer or whatever you want), can of lemonade concentrate in container you'd make tea or lemonade in. Drink...with caution.

Ugh^. I'd rather have a spody. Or just make some good sangria.

These days, an ice tea will do just fine.

It's pretty good if mixed properly. Tastes just like lemonade which means it'll knock-you-the-F out if you're not carefull. LOL
