How to Make a Long Island Iced Tea Cocktail

The long island iced tea is affectionately known as one of the most effective cocktails around. We use the work effective to describe the drinks potency, or rather its ability to get its drinker inebriated without having to consume large amounts of it. This is due in no small part to the mixture of liquors that go into this seemingly innocently named drink.

Ice
Vodka: 1 oz
Gin: 1 oz
White rum: 1 0z

Instructions

  • 1

    Ice

    You can either fill your glasses with ice, or fill your cocktail shaker with ice, however the latter is strongly recommended as it will mix the alcohol while also cooling it.
