Well, Ellen, I normally don't read net.singles, but while thumbing
through the news I saw your plea for the Long Island Iced Tea
recipe. If you ever want a drink recipe, the best place to get it
is in net.cooks. In order to stem any landslide of recipes for
this drink ( as per last August ), I am submitting the "official
version" as it was given to me. These things will really blow you
away!
As to successful parties, the thing you need is a good mix of people
( usually from different professions, so that "shop talk" is minimal),
and something to do. Things can get boring just sitting, talking, eating,
and drinking - even with the most briliant of conversationalists!
The following is a rerun of last August's article ................
In response to Mark Mortensen's request for an iced tea recipe
that tastes like the ones you get in a bar, I called the American
Bartender's School in Chicago for the recipe that a professional would
mix. The following is what I was told over the phone........
Iced Tea
( Also called New England Iced Tea or Long Island Iced Tea )
Take a tall glass ( 10 oz. or so ) and put in some cubed ice. Some
bars mix the ingredients, others just pour them over the ice.
Ingredients:
1/2 oz. Gin
1/2 oz. Vodka
1/2 oz. Rum
1/2 oz. Tequilla
1/2 oz. Triple Sec
1/2 oz. Whiskey sour mix
Fill the rest of the glass with Coke ( 3/4 to 1 oz. ).
From the looks of things above, one of these on a hot day would
really put you in dreamland!
Enjoy!
