Ice Pick Drink Recipe
If you're a fan of iced tea, lemonade, or vodka, you're sure to love the Ice Pick. This drink is perfect for sipping on a hot summer day, but it's also versatile enough to be enjoyed year-round.
Ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 ounces vodka
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1⁄2 ounce fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup iced tea
Instructions
- To prepare the Ice Pick cocktail, you will need a tall glass and a few simple ingredients.
- Begin by combining the vodka, sugar, and lemon juice in the glass, ensuring that the ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Next, add a few ice cubes to the glass to chill the mixture and provide a refreshing element to the drink.
- Once the ice is in place, fill the glass to the top with iced tea, ensuring that there is enough space left for stirring.
- Using a long spoon or stirring stick, carefully mix the contents of the glass until the flavors are well combined.
- Once mixed, the Ice Pick is ready to be garnished with a lemon wedge and enjoyed on a hot summer day.
Notes
- Use high-quality ingredients. The quality of your vodka, iced tea, and lemon juice can make a big difference in the taste of your cocktail.
- Adjust the sweetness to your liking. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add a little more sugar. If you like it tarter, use less sugar.
- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor. Avoid using bottled lemon juice as it may have added preservatives and lack a fresh taste.
- Chill the ingredients beforehand. For a perfectly chilled drink, you can chill the vodka, lemon juice, and iced tea in the fridge before mixing.
- Experiment with different types of tea. While traditional black tea is often used in an Ice Pick, you can try using green tea or herbal tea for a different flavor profile.
- Don't overdo it with the ice. While ice is essential for keeping the drink cool, too much ice can dilute the flavors. A few cubes are enough.
- Garnish with a lemon wedge. A lemon wedge not only looks attractive, but it also adds a fresh aroma and citrusy taste to the drink.
