My thanks to those who responded to my request for a recipe for "Iced Tea." There seem to be many versions around, and most people report that their versions are not as good as what you get in a bar. The concensus is that the drink is called "Long Island Iced Tea," although there is some disagreements as to the exact liquors and amounts. So here are the three top recipes I received; (1) from Lawson Cooper at Cornell equal parts rum, tequila, vodka, and triple sec with coke to color (2) from Dave Curry equal parts rum, gin, vodka, triple sec, and one or two parts whisky sour mix, with with coke and lemon juice (3) from Doug at Bell Labs equal parts rum, gin, vodka, and tequila, add coke and lime juice Everyone does agree that this is a lethal drink.
