Whats in a LONG ISLAND ICE TEA ...?

a very strong drink containing rum, vodka, gin, triple sec, a dash of sweet and sour and a dash of coke (for c'ice tea' color). some people aslo add tequila. yummy, and strong!

Brooklyn, I've bartended for 25 years. ARok5 is correct but some bartenders don't use Tequila. It just deprends whos pouring it. I myself don't use it. I feel it takes a way from the taste. Take care Marcella

This is a very strong drink, so be careful: 1 part vodka 1 part tequila 1 part rum 1 part gin 1 part triple sec 1 1/2 parts sweet and sour mix 1 splash Coca-Cola® Mix ingredients together over ice in a glass. Pour into a shaker and give one brisk shake. Pour back into the glass and make sure there is a touch of fizz at the top. Garnish with lemon.

And it has no Lipton Ice tea mix in it! I won't even go into what I got when I ordered a Long Island Ice Tea at a local Mexican restaurant down here in the South. UGH!! The best one I have ever gotten was at The Olive Garden.

MY FAVORITE!! 1 part vodka 1 part tequila 1 part rum 1 part gin 1 part triple sec 1 1/2 parts sweet and sour mix 1 splash Coca-Cola

vodka and tea

Turn it into a Long Beach by using cranberry juice instead of Coke. It's sooooo much better! :) Or....use blue curacao and sprite instead of triple sec and coke, respectively, and you have yourself an AMF! :)
