LONG ISLAND ICED TEA



Long Island Iced Tea image

As white light is the combination of all wavelengths of color visible to the human eye, so too is Long Island iced tea the rainbow of high-proof liquors mixed into a balanced cocktail. When done right, it's surprisingly bright and refreshing. A prism of vodka, gin, rum, tequila and triple sec, this batch variation - ideally served in a pitcher - is a cooling blitz of a drink, reminiscent of the best parts of a whiskey sour, or a hot summer's day. Fresh lemon and lime juice bring sourness and bitterness, and a splash of cola and a bit of maple syrup round things out.

Categories     cocktails

Time 10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

2 ounces maple syrup
2 ounces fresh lemon juice (from 1 large lemon)

8 ounces Coca-Cola
Lemon and lime slices, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large pitcher, combine the ice, vodka, gin, rum, tequila, triple sec, maple syrup, lemon juice and lime juice. Add the salt, which accentuates all of the flavors.
