How To Make This Long Island Iced Tea Recipe
Here are the super easy instructions to make this cocktail recipe:
Step #1:
Add ice to your shaker. Then add 1 ounce of vodka, rum, tequila, gin, and triple sec.
Step #2:
Fill your beverage glass with ice.
Don’t like your drink over ice? If you simply chill your drinking glass for about 30 minutes before use, you can achieve the same effect. However, you need to be careful that the alcohol content isn’t too strong.
Step #3
Shake the contents of your shaker for 15 seconds. Then, strain your drink over your fresh ice.
Step #4
Add your coke straight to your glass to achieve a tea like color.
You can add more coke, if desired. Some like a darker long island and some like it lighter. This is a great in-between to start with and adjust if need be.
Final Step
Garnish with a lemon slice if desired and enjoy!
