    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/11/2014   Totally agree that freshly brewed ice tea makes a wonderfully refreshing summer cocktail, but if you prefer less sugar and vodka instead of rum i would highly recommend the caveman's arnold palmer....http://purecarnivore.com/blogs/recipes/14469229-top-paleo-cocktails-to-enjoy-while-bbqing  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/13/2012   This recipe is great for Summer. I've made it twice and the second time I cut WAY back on the sugar. otherwise this drink is an instant hangover. LOL!
