Cocktail of the Day

This is the recipe I use for Long Islands…I know that others make them differently. I like this one – it tastes just like iced tea! But be advised there there’s a substantial amount of booze in here, so proceed with caution.

Long Island Iced Tea

2 oz. Sour Mix

1/2 oz. vodka

1/2 oz. gin

1/2 oz. light rum

1/2 oz. light tequila

1/2 oz. Triple Sec

Blend in mix cup with ice. Pour into iced Collins glass. Fill with cola. Garnish with lemon wedge.

Variations:

Long Beach Lemonade – Fill with cranberry juice instead of cola.

Electric Lemonade – Fill with 7-Up instead of cola

Sky Blue Electric Lemonade (aka “Blue Motherfucker”) – Substitute Blue Curacao for the Triple Sec, and fill with 7-Up instead of cola.
