Summertime in the sweltering South calls for that thirst relieving concoction known as sweet tea. Now a South Carolina distiller has created a liquored-up version. Firefly Sweet Tea vodka is an infusion of American Tea and Firefly Vodka which is a muscadine grape vodka. The new flavor is a huge hit in Charleston where local bartenders are creating new tasty drinks for summer sippers. The vodka is sold in South Carolina, Colorado, Nevada, New York currently and will soon be making its way to other states but it's perhaps best experienced in states where sweet tea is already a beloved drink.[via Charleston City Paper]

This stuff is amazing! Here is their distribution list, http://www.fireflyvodka.com/index.cfm?Section=1&page=19
It's really not that bad (albeit strong) just on the rocks, but once you put a little citrus with it (lemonade and cranberry juice seem to be popular choices in the bars around Charleston) it is incredibly smooth.
