Lucky me, I have a new big client project this month. Bitter-sweetly, I've chosen to skip out on South by Southwest (SXSW), a Film+Music+Interactive event in Austin, Texas, so I can focus on it.
I love Austin, and I hate to miss out on great music, interactive innovations, super friendly people, and tasty traditions.
To bring me a little closer to the festivities, I've invited some friends over to play on the guitar, giggle over the #sxsw Twitter stream, and sip a new tea drink: we call it Cucumber Sweet Tea.
And it's simply addictive.
| Sweet Tea Cocktail Q&A What does sweet tea vodka taste like? Naked, it tastes like syrupy iced tea that's warm going down. Do all sweet tea vodkas taste the same? We haven't tasted them all, but we noticed some brands say "infused with tea" and some say "tea flavored." Infusion seems like a better way to go. Read more about sweet tea taste from the Intoxicologist. Where can I get DRY soda? Whole Foods (which happens to be HQ in Austin) carries it. We've seen it recently at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. Also order it online from Amazon. What's your favorite DRY soda? Tweet it to us or tell us about it on Facebook. |
