What alcohol is in twisted tea?

Traditional "twisted tea" (hard iced tea) is made with iced tea, lemonade, and vodka. Our Hard Iced Tea recipe mixes fresh mango purée, Mango Rum, and iced tea for a sweet and refreshing tropical flavor.

Like our Tropical Mango Cocktail, this drink is light and refreshing, and perfect for sipping outside in the summertime.

How to make Mango Purée

  1. Peel a mango.
  2. Cut into small pieces and place in food processor or blender. Blend.
  3. Add enough water a teaspoon at a time until you have a consistency of honey.

Variations

  • MOCKTAIL: omit the rum. This drink tastes great without the booze
  • MORE FRUIT: substitute peaches or nectarines for mango. Or add them to the puree
  • SPIKED ARNOLD PALMER: substitute lemonade for mango puree. Use spiced rum instead of mango rum.

Top tip

Use freshly brewed iced tea for this cocktail. Bottled iced tea has additives and preservatives, and it just doesn't taste as good!

FAQ

I don't like mango! What can I substitute?

Peaches are a great substitute for mango. You can also just use lemonade.

I don't have agave nectar. What can I use instead?

Honey, stevia, or granulated sugar are great substitutes. Add a bit at a time to get the right sweetness.

Can I use spiced rum?

Of course! We like Mango rum because it gives extra mango flavor, but any rum will do.
