Today’s Dixie Vodka 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway gets me ready to mix it up. The name “Dixie” get me excited because of my name, but so does the idea of vodka based drinks. As we watch today’s race, I’ll be sporting my Dixie Vodka tshirt and mixing up some fun libations. We will be primarily drinking the Speedway Cocktail, but over the course of the race, we will try some other drinks, too. As Texans, tea is one of our food groups, so the variety of tea drink recipes is awesome! I also love lemons, so I’m very fond of several of their recipes that feature lemons. Here are some of my favorite recipes from the Dixie Vodka recipes, but do check out the many, many others they have no their website. Grab some Dixie Vodka and get to mixin’ it up!
