The right mixing ratio for iced tea with schnapps depends on personal preference. However, you can use a standard ratio as a guide.
What should the mixing ratio for iced tea with grain alcohol be?
The right mixing ratio ensures a balanced taste and pleasant strength of the alcoholic beverage. You can use these values as a guide:
- You can achieve a classic ratio by mixing schnapps and iced tea in a ratio of 1:4. To fill a 250 ml glass, add 50 ml of schnapps to a glass and then fill it with 200 ml of iced tea. This mixture offers a harmonious balance between the alcoholic taste of the grain spirit and the sweetness of the iced tea.
- For a milder drink with less alcohol, mix 30 ml of grain spirit with around 220 ml of iced tea. This mixture is ideal if you want to emphasize the taste of the iced tea and prefer a lower alcohol content.
- Add 80 ml of grain alcohol to 160 ml of iced tea to create a strong version of the drink with a mixing ratio of 2:1. This has a stronger flavor and a higher alcohol content, which is suitable for those who prefer a stronger drink.
Tips for preparation
Once you have found your preferred mixing ratio, you can follow these tips:
- To make your iced tea with grain particularly refreshing, you can add a few ice cubes. These not only cool the drink pleasantly, but also help to slightly soften the flavors, which can be particularly pleasant with stronger mixtures.
- For a visually appealing presentation, you can garnish the glass with a slice of lemon or fresh mint leaves. The lemon adds a slightly tart note to the drink, which harmonizes well with the sweetness of the iced tea. Mint leaves, on the other hand, bring a fresh and aromatic component to the mix.
- Always consume alcohol responsibly and know your limits! This is especially true for stronger mixtures. If you are out and about, plan ahead how you will get home safely.
