Long Island Ice Tea

What's more refreshing than a cold drink in the summer sun?

Long Island Iced Tea is one of the top selling drinks in the summer. The question often arises why it has the name that it does, and coca cola gets used instead of iced tea. Trust me, this question still remains and probably won't ever be answered. I can give you my thoughts on it though: iced tea is a more fruity drink and after all of the ingredients are added, adding iced tea to it would over power it and therefor they chose a more fizzy drink. After taking you guys through my thought process, here is the actual recipe:

1/2 oz of vodka
1/2 oz of gin
1/2 oz of tequila
1/2 oz of light rum
1/2 oz of triple sec
1 oz of lime juice or lemon juice
1 1/2 oz sweet and sour mix or lime cordial
1/2 oz of simple syrup or gomme syrup
splash of coca cola
lemon wedge garnish


ARE YOU READY TO TASTE THE FRUITY FRESHNESS?
