New Texas-Style Sweet Tea Signature Drinks

When I started gathering inspiration for my wedding, I kept coming across lovely images of sweet tea vodka concoctions served in mason jars. They were mostly weddings in South Carolina and the drinks used Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka. But wait, that's not made in Texas! So I disappointedly put them aside.

Say hello to the new Texas-born-and-bred sweet tea vodka: Deep Eddy Sweet Tea Vodka
Is your jaw dropping to the floor in awe and excitement like mine? The founders of SAVVY vodka and Sweet Leaf Tea got together to make a beverage named after Austin's favorite swimming hole using some of the best ingredients Texas has to offer:

• mineral-rich Texas spring water
• 100% pure cane sugar from Sugarland, Texas
• Clover honey from Austin’s Good Flow Honey Co.

My mouth is totally watering right now. I'm going straight to Specs or Twin Liquors to get my bottle.

Title: Super Bowl XLIII Party ,Texas Style: 220 Pounds of Meat

Everything is bigger in Texas and parties are no exception. This is the 2009 version of our annual Super Bowl party - Super Bowl 43, Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Arizona Cardinals. This year we had over 220 pounds of meat including: 4 briskets, pulled pork, Beef Wellington, deer nuggets (deer tenderloin and bacon wrapped around a jalapeno), Sabretts "dirty water" natural casing hot dogs, home ground burgers, crab cakes, assorted rotisserie roasts, bratwurst, and BBQ ribs. The sides included pizza bread, mashed potatoes, candied sweet potatoes, NYC soft street pretzels, along with several others. As for dessert, there were over a dozen choices including cheesecakes, tiramisu (with enough alcohol in it to get you sauced), apple pies, brownies, and others. Finally, there was an assortment of beverages to wash everything down.

It took us 2 days of prep before the game to begin putting this all together. I had to bring one of my grills, an oven, and several warming devices over to the host house to help crank out all this food in a timely manner.
