Long Island Iced Tea recipe

The Long Island Iced Tea (LIIT) is the basis of many elaborate mixed-drinks!. It dates to the 70's, named after the USA's largest island, Long Island, in New York!. Although it doesn't contain tea, it's taste is similar!.

I don't know what the original recipe was back in the 80s!. Many drink mixes evolve into something else over time!. I never heard of the Sweet & Sour though!. It's clear transparent liquors and the coke and Rum give it a shade like tea!. I'm a bartender in a small town on Saturdays!. My friend owns the bar!. But if it's after 10 pm and someone orders a Long Island Ice Tea, I just say, 'No, you don't need that!.' It is very toxic, and is like a gallon of sulfuric acid when a dash of Kerosene is required!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
