Refreshing Strong

O Ice Pick é uma refrescante bebida longa que combina vodca com chá gelado e um toque de suco de limão, servida alta sobre gelo em um copo Collins. Os taninos do chá gelado e o espírito neutro da vodca criam uma bebida que quase não tem gosto de álcool, tornando-a perigosamente fácil de beber. O suco de limão ilumina toda a composição.

History & Origins

The Ice Pick cocktail is believed to have originated in Texas in the 1970s, capitalizing on the state's deep culture of sweet iced tea. Its exact provenance is disputed, but it belongs to the family of 'tea cocktails' that grew in popularity across the American South. The name likely refers to both the iced nature of the drink and its deceptively sharp alcoholic punch.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Brewed tea, a whisper of lemon, and a clean vodka note. Palate: Refreshing and lightly tannic from the iced tea, with bright lemon and a neutral vodka warmth that is almost imperceptible. Finish: Clean and tea-forward, with a crisp citrus edge and a cool, refreshing linger.

Pro Tip

Use a full-flavored brewed black iced tea rather than a pre-sweetened variety for the best balance of tannin and freshness.
