General Cocktail

By MixThatDrink

The General Cocktail features iced tea as its main ingredient. To that, it adds vodka, orange juice and a touch of grenadine.

The end result is a really enjoyable flavor that’s just slightly fruity, but with that nice bitterness that comes from the tea. I recommend using unsweetened tea because the orange juice adds enough sugar to sweeten it.

Recipe

  • 2 ounces vodka
  • 2 ounces orange juice
  • 4 ounces (unsweetened) iced tea
  • 1 dash grenadine

Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes, and pour all your ingredients into it. Shake until chilled. Fill a highball glass with ice. Strain the mixture into the highball glass.
