Long Island Iced Tea

The beauty (and danger) of a Long Island Iced Tea is how deceptively smooth it is despite containing a who’s who of liquors. Five spirits in one glass? Check. Splash of soda to round it out? Sure, why not. Lemon wedge for a little class? Add that fruit, embrace the refinement, and wake up in Port Jefferson after you pass out on the LIRR.

Notes

  • Variations use as little as ½ oz for each liquor or as much as 1 oz. It’s up to you, just make sure you Uber.
  • The original recipe calls for a splash of cola for color, but add up to an ounce for flavor.
  • Other variations swap in maple syrup, simple syrup, etc. (see below).
