Firefly Sweet Tea Y'all


Sweet tea has always been the table wine of the South, but it's quickly becoming the spirit of the South with the release of Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka, an infusion that is proving irresistible to local palates.

Distilled in South Carolina and already distributed in Nevada and Colorado and cleared for Georgia and New York in August, Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka has finally reach Five Points Bottle Shop.

Part of the larger Infusion trend like brands Van Gogh and Absolut, Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka is created by adding a tea concentrate, sweetened with cane sugar, to the alcohol.

Every aspect of Firefly Sweet Tea's production, from distilling the vodka and brewing the tea, to bottling, labeling and packaging, is done at the Irvin~House Vineyard, in buildings that used to maintain a carriage company.

Firefly uses only all-natural ingredients, including tea from the Charleston Tea Plantation only a few miles down the road from the vineyard.
