It's my 21st tomorrow, need tea inspired cocktails!
Already got stuff to make a treaty of paris, speak low, and maybe a hot toddy if its cool enough.

I make an Arnold Palmer variant that turns out pretty well! Iced tea (usually cold brewed earl grey) and limoncello, with a little club soda floated on top just for fun.
Happy birthday!

Fun Fact! A boozy Arnold Palmer is called a John Daly!

I second boozy Arnold palmers. :-) The way I did it was infuse vodka with a couple bags of black tea overnight, then add lemonade. You can definitely use loose leaf, but I've (sadly) used Lipton before and it's still been pretty good!

Off topic, but I thought this was neat. I went to pick up a six pack today and saw the store had hard Arnold Palmer.
No mixing required!

Even further off topic: I read somewhere that if you add vodka to an Arnold Palmer, it's called a John Daly, which is way too funny... I'm from a town in Arkansas pretty close to his hometown, and for several years there it was usual business to see him and his booze-infused self out and about at our little podunk bars and clubs, so that's very fitting. :)

Bubble tea with baileys. Iced tea with bourbon. Matcha powder in baileys. Here is a link for specific cocktail recipes. They are pretty damn good. http://www.buzzfeed.com/ailbhemalone/time-for-tea#.hlbbQGMpon

Make very strong tea, put in the refrigerator overnight. In a tall glass, drop in two shots of vodka, two shots of triple sec, ice. Fill with the iced tea.
The orange flavor of the triple sec goes perfectly with the tea. The vodka disappears, so you don't notice it while consuming the drink.
This combination is very refreshing, very easy to drink, and really potent.

Need to save this one. Sounds very delicious.

Long Island Iced Tea

Wasn't even surprised when I found out it didn't contain tea, but was so impressed how smooth it was. Like the amount of alcohol in those is a decent amount, could only have a couple of those.

Yeah I tend to drink a few too many when I indulge.

Never really done infusions but that would be ideal, though you would have to get someone to buy you it before hand. Absolut has some hibiscus vodka that would be good.

I think this is the canonical one.

Green tea, simple syrup, vodka, slice of lemon

So don't kill me but whiskey with the Teavana Maharaja/samurai chai blend is super good. But most likely any chai would be awesome. I think lapsang souchong with some honey would be good with rum or whiskey too, but I have yet to try.
Also adagio's fruit herbals are great with flavored vodkas. If you like sour, try sour apple vodka with blood orange. Mango green tea tastes good with pineapple Smirnoff also!

It's not exactly a cocktail, but I did a vodka infusion with earl grey a while back which was mind shattering.
Definitely should try infusing vodka, but I don't currently have any... I have some gin infusing now with some yabao. Will be using it for a ton Collins in a few days
Buying some Pearl now and doing that.
