Jack Daniels Honey Bourbon Sweet Tea
Warm weather and summertime aren’t the only times to enjoy iced tea, especially when citrus, like limes, is in full season. That’s why today I’m bringing you my Honey Bourbon Lime Sweet Tea recipe.

Boozy bourbon and lime sweet tea
The name reveals its only three ingredients: honey bourbon, lime juice, and bottled sweet tea.

Honey bourbon with sweet tea….perfect…
I used Jack Daniels label Honey Bourbon (one ounce for a serving)….

Bottled sweet tea is a fast alternative to simple syrup and unsweet tea.
…and Arizona brand bottled sweet tea (four to five ounces for a serving), but any brand will do. You can also use an unsweet tea, bottled or not, and add an ounce or two of simple syrup, or artificial sweetener if you’re watching carbs and/or calories…

Honey bourbon, lime juice and sweet tea…a recipe for all seasons!
…then add freshly squeezed lime juice (one ounce for a serving). That’s it! The citrus and sharpness of the lime offsets the sweet of the honey and tea beautifully. Here’s the recipe:
- One ounce honey-flavored bourbon, such as Jack Daniels' label
- One ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
- Four to five ounces bottled sweet tea (or unsweet tea with one to two ounces simple syrup added)
- Mix all ingredients and serve over ice.

Why not try some honey bourbon lime spiked tea?
Honey Bourbon Lime Sweet Tea…enjoy!

Hi Shellie, I am too! Not sure I’d drink it with the bourbon every single day, just because there are so many other great cocktails to try too! Thanks so very much for commenting!

Just a side note…it’s glaring and bothersome to read a recipe for a BOURBON drink made with Tennessee’s Jack Daniels WHISKEY!!!
This drink should correctly be called, Honey Whiskey Lime Tea. Or better yet, add a BOURBON honey like Evan Williams Honey or Jim Beam Honey or Wild Turkey Honey. (There are many more from which to choose)
THEN you can enjoy your Honey BOURBON Lime Tea.
Hi Jody, and so sorry my post got you all bothered! And you’re correct, actually! I found this recent post at http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michelle-pruett/whiskey-bourbon-scotch-ry_b_9548538.html, which gives a succinct explanation of the differences between whiskey, bourbon, scotch, and rye. Whatever its name, I hope you’ll finally be able to relax and chill out with a big glass of this fabulous tasting Honey Bourbon Lime Sweet Tea.
