National Iced Tea Month is in June, but the recent warmer weather calls for refreshing long drinks.

And, with the Derby around the corner, iced tea cocktails really hit the spot — especially if you aren’t the Julep type. Whether you enjoy your tea on a lazy afternoon or while watching the Derby, try mixing up some iced tea with your favorite spirit. Or chill out Austin-style by shaking up these cool cocktails using Deep Eddy Sweet Tea Vodka.
