Perhaps tonight’s events will harden AKAnyway…[ads1]Bushes! It’s something you love — because it’s delicious and refreshing, with an effortlessly cool iced tea vibe, buzzed up by the fact that there’s alcohol in your cup. The folks who make Twisted Tea have figured out how to create a drink: one that doesn’t overload your pucker and sinuses with alcohol kick, but just tastes nice, light and crisp and fun.

What really distinguishes Twisted Tea from other alcoholic beverages, though, is that it has something for everyone. It’s not too sweet, it’s not too bitter, and it doesn’t have the sharp bite that certain beers or cocktails could pack. Which makes it a drink-it-by-the-bucketful proposition even for people who aren’t normally fans of rather strong drinks.

Just Right: A Tea-Tipple Mash-Up

So Twisted Tea is pure Americana, fusing two entirely unadventurous ingredients: tea and alcohol. Tea has been a cherished beverage around the world for centuries, enjoyed as a cooling summer refreshment and great in the winter too. It is a beverage that knows no season, travelling through cultures and climes as it shares an inspiring journey of flavour, aroma and texture. It’s just as rich in culture for humans, though it took us tens of thousands of years to develop from fruit juice/muck into the all corners mopping mess that is every single fermented alcoholic beverage variant you’ve ever had.

Twisted Tea combines the two worlds by brewing a selection of teas — think black tea and green tea — then adding some alcohol for good measure. The result is something that is both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. The tea is like a blank slate, while the alcohol gives it that little something extra: It’s an ideal drink for sipping on a summer day, taking to a backyard barbecue or even bringing to a night out with friends.

The Origins of Twisted Tea

Iced tea has been a popular beverage for centuries but adding alcohol to it is a fresh concept. Its developers recognized a chance to provide people with an iced tea that tasted normal, albeit one with an (almost) literal twist.

The concept caught on and Twisted Tea soon became a popular choice for those looking for something other than beer or wine. Over time, the line has grown to include different flavors and versions in order to attract more customers. Lemon, peach, half-and-half (a mix of iced tea and lemonade) — these days, there’s a Twisted Tea flavor for almost everyone.

Why Twisted Tea is So Popular

It’s Light, and it Goes Down Easy

Let’s be frank here: We all get those days where looking for something light just feels right, like something that won’t weigh us down. Which is where Twisted Tea comes in. It’s easy to sip, refreshing and never particularly filling, which means it’s just the sort of beverage you might want on a hot summer day when you’d prefer something chilled but don’t want to overdo it with something too rich or sweet.

Low Sugar, High Flavor

Not as syrupy as some sugary cocktails or too-sweet-for-my-taste bevs, Twisted Tea is just right. It is a little sweet, to be fair, but not cloyingly so. If you are looking to cut back on sugar, but still want something flavorful to drink, Twisted Tea has a lot going for it. And if you feed it only a little sweetening and some added flavors, it is capable of providing the most refreshingly icy drink without assaulting us with syrupy sweetness.

Variety of Flavors

Twisted Tea is not a one-flavor thunder. And one reason it’s so popular is the wide variety of flavors you can find.
