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!

Firefly Vodka > Jeremiah Weed. The original, duh! ;)
These look amazing! I lived in Charleston for a while and definitely drank my share of Firefly. Protip: use limeade instead of lemonade. I found the lemonade a bit too sweet for the beach, and Simply Limeade was just perfect. Enjoy!
These look like they would hit the spot on a nice summer day!
I’m not normally a fan of iced tea/sweet tea but this sounds incredibly refreshing.
WOW! Are you done nursing? I’m still goin’ at it but I can’t believe you combined 2 of my favorite drinks! Sweet Tea and Mojitos!! You are a tease! Hopefully my baby girl will start to lose interest by the time she’s 1 so I can indulge in this WONDERFULLY crafted cocktail!
I am!
This looks fab! I just texted my hubby to pick up some sweet tea vodka on his next liquor store run. Woot!
I LOVE this, Kristin!!
Sweet Tea is not anything I get near. But, the vodka element has piqued my curiosity. The only ingredient I have on hand is fresh mint. This is a definite sign to make a Costco run for the rest. I have plans for this Mojito. Lol Love that this is “make ahead and always ready.” With a serious schedule of outdoor concerts, this is very helpful. Thanks, IG.
This looks like such a refreshing summer beverage! Thanks for sharing!
I LOVE a good lemonade drink in the summer heat. I’m trying to get my husband to drink more cocktails to show him they’re not all “girly”. He’s a major beer drinker. :)
Sweet Tea Vodka is my absolute favorite for summer!! I love the cute straws and mason jars too! My second favorite summertime drink is watermelon cucumber cooler. You should give it a try!

This is a great idea -we’ve been making “adult” Arnold Palmers for awhile (it’s our favorite beach drink), but I never thought to add mint – can’t wait to try this! Also, the sweet tea vodka mixed with regular brewed iced tea is great too!
We are vodka people, so one other favorite is whipped flavored vodka plus ginger ale – tastes like cream soda!
