How to Make a LIT

An LIT, or Long Island Iced Tea, is an alcoholic beverage sold at bars around the country. Actually made with no iced tea, the drink is highly alcoholic, making it a popular choice for drinkers who are looking for a cocktail with a high alcohol content. If you're a bartender trying to learn how to make drinks, or an LIT lover looking to re-create the beverage at home, learning how to make an LIT is fairly simple.

Things You'll Need

  • Drinking glass
  • Light rum
  • Vodka
  • Gin
  • Tequilla
  • Cola
  • Lemon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Fill a glass with ice.

  2. Mix together in the glass 1/2 ounce, or a full shot glass, each of light rum, gin, vodka and tequila. If you are using a pint glass rather than a highball glass, you will want to use twice the amount of each.

  3. Add a small amount of cola to fill the glass up the remainder of the way.

  4. Garnish the side of the glass with a lemon slice, and make sure you have a designated driver if you need conveying on the way home.
