I love this series, don’t you? Grandma Drinks! Yeah, she does. Calling all slushes discerning imbibers…HELLO! Fine. Pretend not to lurk in the liquor aisle while I discuss this amazing find. ~Deep Eddy Sweet Tea Vodka~ Every Southern heart just swooned. Take a minute. Breathe. Reread if necessary. Ready?
