Sweet tea and firefly brand vodka, though imho and mid brand eg svedka should do.

Dioxide 45 you are right the story behind this drink was that the locals on the island made moonshine when the government shut them down harvesting sea food from the ocean and bays. The locals started to make moon shine and transport it off the island covered with Scrap Iron so they could make a living.. the government always let them go thinking they were transporting scrap Iron. that was how the moonshine got its name

Thanks loops.

Vodka should be tasteless colorless odorless alcohol.

So a ultra premium grey goose and a well bottle should both be the same. We know that is not quite true but the behind the bar shelf bottles vs the top shelf, the quality is harder to discern. Especially when mixed.
