Seagram's Sweet Tea Vodka - Ya'll have a good time!

I used to live in Georgia.  I love ice tea. That is natural ice tea, fresh brewed tea leaves and cold filtered water over a tall glass of ice. Add a generous amount of sugar, a sprig of mint, maybe a slice of lime, orange or traditional lemon. Anyway, not long ago, at my local Liquor Emporium I found this Seagram’s flavored Sweet Tea vodka drink. It looked interesting and it was inexpensive, so I figured “Why not Y'all?”

I was hooked my very first sip. It tastes exactly how you would think a pitcher of down South sweet tea should taste, with of course a little kick. Not the kinda vodka that burns your pipes, but on the contrary it is very smooth and mellow and can sneak up on you "right quick." Women love sweet drinks and this baby makes some pretty darn good ones!

I may be partial from my days of Tea and NASCAR, but I think it pairs really well with Southern food, including of course BBQ, and is a very refreshing drink on ice. Seagram's Sweet Tea combines all the charm and refreshing sweetness of Southern sweet tea with five-times distilled premium vodka.  This is a highly mixable spirit that has the potential to turn any night into a hot Southern night.

Seagram's also makes a Sweet Tea Vodka with a Peach Flavor kicked in.

But Seagram’s Peach Tea is more than just another hot package. It has everything the Sweet Tea does, but with a mouthwatering tease of peach flavor for added extra sparkle. Seagram's added a squeeze of a special blend of genuine Summer White Pearl and Laurel peaches into their naturally-flavored sweet tea, for a taste of some true Southern soul. It's a bold 70-proof, it’s got all the buzz and none of the fuzz. Try it with good ole'soda and a squeeze of lemon - you will be HOOKED.

Moonshine - a celebrated way of life in Dawsonville, GA

Dawson County in the Northern foothills of Georgia, knows how to celebrate the seasons, its history and heritage. Running moonshine through the foothills of the Northeast Georgia Mountains was a way of life—and one that gave birth to NASCAR racing.  The town of Dawsonville celebrates every summer with it's annual "Moonshine Festival."  This annual celebration is to commemorate this long ago era in American history.

Dawsonville played a major part in the distribution of Moonshine during prohibition. Dawsonville served as a major pathway for 'Moonshine Runners'.


Dawsonville is located approximately 50 miles north of Atlanta.  In addition to the Moonshine Festival, it is also the home of the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame.

As any resident can tell you, hooch and hot cars are not unrelated. The stuff made in Dawson County and other rural communities found its way to Atlanta in modified, fast cars. Some of those early drivers went on to make a legal living on race tracks.


Dawsonville’s most famous native son is 
NASCAR great Bill Elliott, whose trophies would sink a yacht.



In Dawsonville, Cheryl Wood learned about moonshine on her granddaddy’s knee. Dwight Bearden learned about it on his knees, scrubbing out gallon jugs so his daddy could fill them with day-old liquor.

Now, these descendants of North Georgia businessmen
