I am looking for a knock your socks off recipe for Long Island Iced Tea. I have tried a couple of recipes off the internet but they didn't taste quite right. Thanks in advance!

I love this drink but honestly haven't made it in ages. I recall that it was the amount of coke that made it taste just right. Don't know which recipes you tried but this is supposed to be the original. I would say to taste it before you add the coke (for correct sourness) and then gradually add coke 1/2 oz at a time until it tastes right. Some recipes say a splash and some say 2 oz.

Long Island Iced Tea

The original recipe, supposedly concocted by Long Island bartender Robert 'Rosebud' Butt in the late 1970s

1 measure gin
1 measure light rum
1 measure tequila
1 measure triple Sec
1 measure vodka
2 measures fresh lemon juice
1 tsp sugar
cola
lemon wedge

Shake together all the ingredients except the cola and lime wedge. Pour into a chilled Collins glass (any tall glass will do) with ice, pour over the coke, stir gently and top with the lime wedge.

I think that's what she wants, LOL. Yes, that "measure" can be quite ambiguous.
VIRGIN? WHOSE A VIRGIN????

Rs, thanks and I love that drinking smiley!! DH and I had one of these the other week and had forgotten how good they were. Tried to make one tonight and the amount of cola seems to be the key. The first sip was a "nobody light a match or we all going to meet our maker" slug and then after adding more lemon and pepsi it got better. That or either the alcohol killed our taste buds.

Lord knows I haven't seen my virginity in decades and after a few of these my knees will be like peanut butter...easy to spread
