[net.cooks] Iced Tea recipe needed

but better, and with much more of a kick.  I know it contains lime
and Coca Cola, and a few liquors, but that's all I know.
        Can anyone help me out?  The warm weather is already upon us,
and I would really like to relax in the back yard with one of these things.

	I just happen to have had one of those last night.  I believe
	they're called "Long Island Iced Tea", or "Manhattan Iced Tea",
	but anyway, the name has something from New York in it.

	To make ( 'X' is a unit of measure, we used jiggers, but I guess
	it depends on the size of your glass):

		1 X	Gin
		1 X	Rum
		1 X	Vodka
		1 X	Triple Sec
		2 X	Sweet & Sour Mix  (you could try 1 X here)

		Mix all these things together, and, provided your glass
	hasn't melted down, fill it the rest of the way with Coca-Cola.
	We added some lemon juice after that, and it seemed to help a
	bit.

	Update to the Long Island Iced Tea recipe -- a friend of mine
	(the guy who was mixing last night) says if you want to lower
	the alcohol content, drop the rum.
