Sweet tea may be a Southern classic, but this version takes it up a notch. Tennessee Caramel Tea brings together the silky smoothness of Ole Smoky® Salty Caramel Whiskey with the tart edge of sour mix and a touch of cola for that sweet tea hue. It’s rich, balanced, and carries just enough sweetness to make every sip linger.
This cocktail is made for front porch evenings, smoky BBQ dinners, and friends who never leave early. Light, smooth, and a little mischievous—it’s pure Tennessee charm in a glass.
