8. Justin Timberlake’s Lemonade Cocktail

We have got to show a bit of West Tennessee and Memphis love here. It falls right into Butch Jones’s Manifest Destiny theme of owning the entire state of Tennessee in recruiting, and it showed this past year with the flip of five-star offensive tackle Drew Richmond right out of Memphis.

So what better way to do this than with the drink of a Shelby County native and one of Tennessee’s biggest celebrities out right now? Justin Timberlake has been advertising that 901 Tequila that he came out with, or I guess what you would now call Sauza 901.

Well, his own lemonade cocktail based on that drink has gotten critical acclaim. Apparently, it’s perfect on a golf course. You can read about all of that here.

But this is the recipe:

1 Part Tequila

2 Parts Iced Tea

2 Parts Lemonade

1/4 Part Agave Syrup

Mint Leaves and Lemon Wedges at the top

If it’s good for golfing, and it’s good for a Tennessee guy, then it must be good outside for a Tennessee Vols football game. So give this one a shot.

Justin Timberlake has always thrown out Tennessee, so why not show him some love back with a cool drink in his honor. This would also be a perfect summer drink, but it would work throughout the year.

So for those of you who can handle Tequila, and we know that is hit or miss, you’ve got to give this one a shot.
