The Tennessee Tea(m) Recipe

This twist on the classic Tennessee Tea cocktail substitutes lemon juice for sweet-and-sour mix and beer for Coke, resulting in a refreshing blend that will surprise and delight even the most discerning palates.

Gather Your Ingredients

To create this easy-drinking cocktail, you’ll need:

• Large ice cubes
• 1/2 ounce (1 tablespoon) lemon juice
• 1 ounce Cointreau or Triple Sec
• 1 1/2 ounces Tennessee whiskey, such as Jack Daniel’s
• 2 ounces light beer, such as Corona
• 1 slice of lemon or lemon peel, for garnish

Assemble the Perfect Pour

Fill a chilled Collins glass with ice, then add the lemon juice, Cointreau or Triple Sec, whiskey, and beer. Stir until combined, and garnish with a slice of lemon or lemon peel. The result is a crisp, citrusy cocktail that’s perfect for sipping on game day or any day.

A Winning Combination

The unlikely marriage of whiskey and beer may raise some eyebrows, but trust us – it’s a match made in heaven.
