Tea Gone Absolutely Wild

It's the weekend and you should be drinking tea! Not just any old tea, the good stuff aka Absolut Wild Tea vodka. If you are a follower of my blog than you remember my post on KCRW's good food Happy Hour @ The Crosby. Well, there was a drink featured that night, The Wildflower Press and it was amazingly refreshing.  I have done all the hard work for you and found the recipes for the best (in my opinion) cocktails to make with the Wild Tea Vodka.
