It?s actually good?
Yes. Yes it is. First off, remove the cap and give it a whiff. It smells delicious. Not interesting, complex, beautiful, or such adjectives, but actively appetizing. With only the gentlest of handling, the taste lives up to the aroma.
The simplest way to appreciate this stuff is to simply pour a couple of fingers in an old fashioned glass and fill with ice. Give it a good long stir to start the melt and garnish with a lemon wedge or sprig of mint, whichever floats your boat. What you have is one fine sip.
Now, my cocktail snob buddies out there may have a hard time imagining me serving up a drink which is prepared thus: ?Pour over ice.? If you must have a fancy dan, make it fit for Vessel or Pegu Club, way of serving, try the following. You want your ice to dilute fast at first, then very slowly. I suggest you first put a little crushed ice, or the tiny cubes from an ice maker, in the bottom and pour in your Firefly. Stir well, then add big, cold cubes from the freezer. Your guests will feel that you went to some trouble for them, and the drink is both ready to drink sooner, and may be sipped more slowly.
A second way of serving Firefly, which I got from of all places the New York Times, is this:
1 part Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka
1 part fresh lemonade
Serve in a highball glass with lots of ice and a mint leaf.
It is also delicious.
