Bourbon Sweet Ice Tea

A meal isn't complete in the South without a tall, cold glass of sweet tea. And, Southerns are love their   Arnold Palmers (lemonade/tea mix). Well, check out this recipe by Celebration at Home. I changed the bottle tea to brewed tea and added lemon. Great cocktail for warm summer days.

The recipe:
4 oz flavored ice tea (Lipton 100 Calorie Hal & Half) mix Tea and Lemonade
1 1/2 oz bourbon
3/4 oz pomegranate juice

Combine all ingredients together over ice. Garnish with lemon slice.
