You'll love this alcoholic beverage if strawberries happen to be your favorite fruit of the summer. It's an easy recipe that combines the bitterness and sweetness of bourbon and tea with the refreshing mint flavor.
This recipe sweetens the drink with a simple sugar solution instead of adding granulated white sugar. This will allow the bourbon and sweet tea to mix better and reduce the amount of sugar needed to get the desired flavor.
