Georgia Iced Tea
Ingredients
- 2 shots Applejay Liqueur
- Unsweetened iced tea (to top—brew strong for earthy depth)
- Splashes of unsweetened lime (to taste—for bright Southern tang)
Instructions
- Fill a tall glass with plenty of ice (crushed for extra chill).
- Pour in Applejay Liqueur over the ice.
- Top slowly with chilled unsweetened iced tea, letting the orchard crisp mingle with tea’s bold earthiness.
- Add splashes of unsweetened lime to taste, stirring gently for a zesty lift.
- Garnish: Fresh lime wheel, thin apple slice, or a lemon twist for an Ellijay orchard breeze.
- Serve porch-side, trail-end, or lakeside. Sip easy—refreshing, vibrant, low-ABV quench that pairs with summer salads, grilled peaches, or sunset stories under Georgia skies.
Pro Tip: Scale for a crowd—multiply by the number of friends (or adventurers) gathering. No hurry, just mountain sunshine.
Georgia Iced Tea
Where Orchard Crisp Meets Southern Earthiness
A great summer cocktail doesn’t chase the heat. It cuts through it with crisp tang, pulls you into the shade, and lets the mountains murmur “linger longer.” Inspired by Ellijay’s legendary apple orchards and the bold, timeless ritual of Southern iced tea—crafted with our all-natural Applejay Liqueur, small-batch produced right here in the North Georgia mountains, and named one of the coolest things made in Georgia in 2025.
The Mountain Moment
Grab a spot on the porch at House of Applejay. Watch the afternoon light filter through the Rich mountain wilderness, ice clinking in your glass like a gentle creek. This isn’t just a drink—it’s your post-hike refresher, a shared toast with great company under wide Georgia skies. Unhurried. Unmistakable.
Let The Georgia Iced Tea spark your mountain moment. Made with Applejay Liqueur—our all-natural apple liqueur, small-batch produced onsite with crisp, delicate apples. Clean, pure, mountain-born. Perfect for Georgia’s apple season, lakeside lounging, or breezy porch evenings.
