Strawberry Whiskey Iced Tea came about as a collaborative process between Colt and I. I had suggested to him we should do another iced tea like the Peach Whiskey Iced Tea I shared last summer. As we wandered around the grocery store checking out the produce we settled on Strawberry  one of my favorites when they are in season.

I usually add the whiskey as I'm serving the cocktails to have a nonalcoholic option available so everyone can enjoy the Strawberry Iced Tea.

It's perfect for gatherings like Mother's Day brunch, Memorial Day, a Father's Day BBQ or of coarse a beautiful red cocktail for 4th of July!

I also like to keep a pitcher of the Strawberry Iced Tea on hand just to enjoy at the end of a warm day on the patio.

Puree 2 cups Diced Strawberries with 1/3 cup Sugar until smooth.

Isn't the color gorgeous?

Steep 5 bags Black Tea in 3 cups Boiling Water for 5 minutes.

Remove tea bags, and stir in 8 cups Ice to cool the tea.

Stir in Strawberry Puree. Add Juice of 1 Lemon and additional sugar to taste, it will depend on berry sweetness, and personal preference how much additional sugar will be needed.

Fill glass half way full of ice, and pour 1/2-1 shot of your favorite Whiskey over the top depending on how strong you like your drink.

Fill with StrawberrIced Tea. Garnish with a strawberry with a slit up the middle if desired.
