Green Tea Vodka

If they can make it into ice cream, then why not Vodka, right?

This new oddity in flavored spirits, called "Charbay Tea Time™", apparently has been enjoyed in some small circles here and there. But the company that makes this, Charbay Winery & Distillery, a family-owned business in Napa Valley, is trying to take it global.

"People can't wait to try it since it's the first Green Tea Vodka produced in the U.S. Our advantage is we have the stills, the know-how and our own bottling line to keep being creative.", says Marko Karakasevic, son of the inventor of Charbay Tea Time, Miles Karakasevic.

Miles and Marko are 12th and 13th generation master distillers.

"I wanted to highlight the delicacy, lightness and flavor of green tea, but in a martini or rocks glass," Miles says.

I guess if you think about it, it's the Russian/Japanese version of a Long Island Iced Tea.
