What is Touchdown Tea?
Touchdown Tea is a bold, citrus forward cocktail pitcher that blends vodka, Cointreau, fresh lemon juice, and smooth black tea into a refreshingly strong party drink. It’s light enough to sip all afternoon, yet potent enough that you’ll want to pace yourself, or at least keep snacks nearby. Perfect for game day spreads, backyard watch parties, or any gathering where cups keep refilling faster than expected.
If you love tea based cocktails with serious crowd appeal, Touchdown Tea sits nicely alongside classics like the Long Island Iced Tea, but with a cleaner, more refreshing profile. It’s less syrupy, more crisp, and incredibly easy to batch ahead of time. You can even prep it the night before and let the flavors mellow overnight, similar to other pitcher friendly recipes on HomeBarMenu.
Don't forget to see what other drinks you can make with the ingredients you already have in your bar.

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Brew black tea and allow it to cool completely. Warm tea will dilute the cocktail too quickly, and nobody wants that.
- In a large pitcher, add vodka, Cointreau, cooled black tea, and fresh lemon juice.
- Stir gently until fully combined.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Serve over ice and garnish with lemon wheels if you’re feeling fancy.
