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!

I refer to these as southern bells. When I make them I make the lemonade our of Crystal light, muddle mint and lemon, add ice, the sweet tea vodka, the crystal light and them to it off with charged soda. Super good!!
Sounds so refreshing! Love that name, too. :)
I follow you GF and confirming that Jeremiah Weed’s Sweet Tea Vodka GF? This cocktail sounds fabulous and I’m dying to try it as long as it’s GF. Thank you!!!
Hi Barb! Unfortunately I haven’t found a sweet tea vodka that specifically states whether it’s GF or not, so I haven’t been able to make these GF!
This is still my favorite summer drink and the only reason why I grow mint!
I’ve tried following a similar recipe from a few websites with limited success. But your recipe was a huge hit when I made it yesterday. It’s hard to explain but you are right, the sweetness and the tart mixed together make for an amazing taste. Thank you so much for sharing.
This is an older post so I’m not sure if you’ll see this, but if I wanted to make a whole pitcher of this ahead of time for a BBQ – any suggestions? Have you ever done this? I guess it’s just a ratio of 4oz (~1/2 cup) vodka to 1 cup lemonade? Then muddle up an appropriate amount of mint leaves and lemons and add into the pitcher. Then stir, add ice, and serve?
We have been managing these every summer since 2014 when we found the recipe. We’ll be making a pitcher of them tomorrow for a dinner party. You described what we do. Same ratio of ingredients, just multiplied out… love these drinks. Our goriness have come to expect them when they are here in the summer.
Yuummmmmm – so excited to have one in a few weeks after baby arrives and is settled. They are the epitome of summer to me!
Soooooo sooooo good! We made these last weekend. Thanks for sharing.
So glad to hear it, Jaime! Love those drinks!
Am I the only one to notice that you meant to say “two 8-ounce jars” rather than “two 16-ounce jars?”
Those are 16oz mason jars, no 8oz jars.
I am also a fan of Jeremiah Sweet Tea Vodka. I mix mine with unsweetened tea.
These are awesome to sip on a hot summers night!
I am also a fan of Firefly and have visited the distillery a couple times when I’m in the Charleston area. I have a bottle of their Mint Sweet Tea vodka that’s been sitting on my bar for a few months. This is the perfect reason to open it up!
Yum! Just put the kid down. The hubs and I are enjoying one of these now! This is the first cocktail I’ve made. Thanks for the inspiration and tasty motivation. Delicious!
