TIPSY PALMER'S



Tipsy Palmer's image

A wonderful summertime cocktail made with iced tea, lemonade and vodka. Refreshing sipping! From July 2009 Bon Appetit. I add a bit more vodka than calls for, but I served this at a party the other night and it was a big hit. I also used decaffeinated tea bags as I try not to drink too much caffeine.
