Summer is here! Did you know that June is #NationalIcedTeaMonth? I am kicking off the start of June and Summer by bringing you a refreshing lemon bourbon cocktail featuring Southern Breeze Sweet Tea. I know what you are probably thinking. My blog usually features low-calorie, macro-friendly recipes and drinks, but Southern Breeze Sweet Tea is ZERO CALORIE. This tea is brewed in Marietta, Georgia. The south is KNOWN for their sweet tea, it is a right of passage. The folks at Southern Breeze have removed the calories without altering the traditional Southern taste. Check out their site here for more details.
Throughout summer, my weekends are filled with cookouts, BBQs, pool parties, girls' nights, and much more. I spend a lot of my weekday evenings enjoying the weather on my deck and patio. Sometimes I will curl up with a good book. I will also whip out my Bluetooth speaker and listen to my favorite tunes. This sweet tea lemon bourbon cocktail pairs perfectly with all of these events.
The tea is sweetened with Splenda in the bag along with the tea leaves. There is no need to add sugar to this recipe. Enjoy this exhilarating cocktail without any worry of damage to your waistline.

Liz @ I Heart Vegetables says
I had actually never tried Sweet Tea until I moved to Virginia! (It's not really a thing in the Midwest, haha) but I bet it would be so good in this cocktail!
staysnatched says
I live in the Midwest and it's not a HUGE thing here. I'm only familiar with it because I have a ton of family in the South!
Nicole Anderson says
This actually looks very refreshing for summer time! I didn't realize Southern Breeze Sweet Tea is Zero calorie - that has to be a bonus. Chilled tea is nice to begin with but what you have shared here looks really good and I'm looking forward to giving this a try.
Holly @ Life on Southpointe Drive says
This recipe looks so yummy! Can't wait to give it a try!
Rosey says
My best friend loves sweet tea like no other. I had some with peach in it recently that was good!
Matt @ Plating Pixels says
I've been getting into bourbon lately. Sounds like a great drink to try!
Tracey Crockett says

Patty says
Love sweet tea, it's a good point that it's calorie free!
Katie | Healthy Seasonal Recipes says
How smart that they sweeten the tea bags like that! I'll have to share this one with my hubbie, as he's a Bourbon fan.
Helen @ Fuss Free Flavours says
Tea is a fabulous drink for summer months, and using it to make a sweet tea cocktail is a great idea for a refreshing change. The sweetened tea bags are a great idea for not having to add any sugars or sweetness of your own.
Michelle | The Last Food Blog says
This sounds so refreshing and looks like the perfect summer drink! Can't wait to try it.
Michelle Frank | Flipped-Out Food says
I've never been a sweet tea drinker, but load it up with bourbon and I'm THERE. My mom is a Southern girl and LOVES her sweet tea, but she's also diabetic: I'll definitely have to tell her about Southern Breeze!
Amanda says
Now, this is how to do a glass of iced tea for a hot summer day! Sweet tea is such a refreshing treat, and with bourbon added? I'm ready for a poolside party!

I love bourbon, so this drink seems perfect! I think it would be perfect for the summer!
Elizabeth Brico says
I'm more of a rum gal myself..but that seems like an easy adjustment. This definitely sounds like a deliciously refreshing cocktail for a night out
David Elliott says
This looks really refreshing. Although not a huge fan of bourbon. Some is ok. That's cool that this is zero calorie sweet tea.
Esse D says
Oddly enough... being from the south, I don't enjoy sweet tea. (I can hear the gasps). I just never acquired the taste, but I DO know you have to really nail sweet tea or you lose all credibility for trying. It looks like you have perfected a recipe with a brew from GA. Good work!
Elizabeth O says
It's 95° hot here and looking at that delicious, cold drink made me want to climb through my smartphone and take a few sips.... Beautiful photos too.
Brooke Poston says
I think I'm the only original southerner (Louisiana) on planet Earth that doesn't like tea. Obviously that's not normal. But your recipe looks so simple!
Oyinkan Ogunleye says
I've never seen tea mixed with alcohol before. This is so different. I'll be sure to recommend it.
