JENNIFER JOHNSON: VARSITY GRILL SCORES FIREFLY >>>

Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka has made its way to Tacoma. The Varsity Grill in downtown Tacoma is now serving this delicious new vodka, which is quite tasty with a squeeze of lemon and a dash of peach schnapps.

Ask a Varsity Grill bartender for a Kentucky â€" a Manhattan done southern style: half shot of Sweet Tea Vodka, full shot of Makers Mark bourbon, ice and then shaken hard. With a twist of lemon for taste and eye appeal, this unique cocktail is served straight up in a rocks glass. A martini glass is much too formal for this sweet sipper.

Beside Sweet Tea Vodka, Firefly also makes lemon, peach, mint and raspberry flavored vodkas.

For the full effect, sip said drink in front of Varsity Grill’s dueling piano show Thursday, Friday or Saturday nights. There isn’t a cover charge.
