Sweet Tea Vodka Lemonade Mojitos are the ultimate in refreshing summer cocktails. Make ahead then sip at a moment's notice!
I’m sharing what will undoubtedly become your new favorite summer cocktail – Sweet Tea Vodka Lemonade Mojitos!
Sweet Tea Vodka Lemonade Mojitos are incredibly refreshing — especially on a hot summer night. Sweetness from sweet tea vodka and tart lemonade mixed with muddled fresh lemon juice and fresh mint is crazy good.
If you think you’ll miss the fizz of a traditional mojito, then by all means sub the lemonade for club soda, but do yourself a favor and try it with the lemonade too.
Heck, summer’s short. Try ’em both!
In terms of cocktails, this one’s a cinch to source and make. You’ll need sweet tea flavored vodka, lemonade, fresh mint, and lemons.
I love this drink with meyer lemons but they can be hard to come by. Regular lemons work just fine!
First squeeze 1/2 lemon into a 16oz mason jar or tumbler then add 5-6 sprigs fresh mint.
Next use the bottom of a wooden spoon and muddle lemon half and mint.
Next, fill the jar up with ice then add 2oz (1/4 cup) sweet tea flavored vodka. Finally add 1/2 cup lemonade. Again, you could use club soda, or a mixture if you don’t like your cocktails too sweet.
Screw the lid on the jar then shake what your mama gave ya’.
Tip: these drinks are AWESOME to make ahead of time. Simply muddle the mint and lemon/lemon juice, add the vodka and lemonade, and then screw on the top and pop in the fridge. When you’re ready to drink, add ice then shake!
Grab a straw and you’re set!
This is a drink I will be sipping all summer long. Hope you enjoy as much as I do!

Your recipe sounds delicious and refreshing! I think I’ll try them according to your suggestion, and when I’m craving the fizz, I’ll use lemonade flavored soda. Cheers!!!
Oh my. I love Sweet Tea Vodka and Lemonade. I also love Mojitos. I need to try this combination ASAP!!
HOW DARE YOU. how dare you post a recipe like this when i cannot participate?? this might be the first cocktail i make myself when i can drink again. drooling.
These look amazing!! I’ve been GF for three years and still can’t figure out what’s safe to drink. So much conflicting info. I would love a mojito or g&t – margaritas are getting old. You’ve had no problems with vodka or gin?
I’m due to have my baby anytime now in the next week and a half, and I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect post-baby, summery, refreshing alcoholic beverage. You just nailed it with this recipe! THANK YOU!
YUM! I love fun drinks likes this before a meal or even during! Sounds like it would go great with a summer salad!
Oh my lans, bless your heart! These have me wanting to slip into a charming southern accent, then sip sweet tea cocktails on a porch for all of time. Love your and Ben’s HH routine too!
YUM. This looks like the perfect summer drink :)
The kiddos are going to charge double for these at their lemonade stand this year!! Just a little joke…..or not!
I went to school in Charleston so Firefly is a favorite! We’ve actually thought about going to the distillery but we always run out of time when we are down visiting. These look so refreshing. I cannot wait to try them.
Ooh I need to find some sweet tea vodka~ this sounds incredible!
