What all goes in a long island ice tea?

A Long Island Iced Tea is a potent cocktail known for its high alcohol content. Here's a typical recipe:

Ingredients:

* 1/2 oz Vodka

* 1/2 oz Tequila

* 1/2 oz Rum

* 1/2 oz Gin

* 1/2 oz Triple Sec

* 1/2 oz Fresh Lemon Juice

* 1/2 oz Simple Syrup

* Coca-Cola or Sprite (to top)

Instructions:

1. Combine all spirits and mixers (except Coca-Cola or Sprite) in a shaker filled with ice.

2. Shake vigorously until well-chilled.

3. Strain into a highball glass filled with ice.

4. Top with Coca-Cola or Sprite.

Important Note:

* The Long Island Iced Tea is known for its deceptively sweet taste, which can easily lead to overconsumption. It's important to consume this drink responsibly.

* Some variations exist, with the addition of other spirits like Amaretto or orange liqueur.

Variations:

* Long Island Tea: This version replaces the cola with tea.

* Long Island Iced Tea with a Twist: A twist of lemon or orange peel is added for aroma.

* Fruity Long Island Iced Tea: A splash of fruit juice, like cranberry or pineapple, can be added for sweetness and flavor.

Remember, the exact recipe can vary depending on the bartender and personal preferences. Enjoy responsibly!
