Looking for a cocktail that packs a punch and delivers a refreshing, citrusy kick? The Long Island Iced Tea is a timeless classic that combines vodka, white rum, gin, tequila, and triple sec with a splash of cola for a deceptively smooth drink. Perfectly balanced with fresh lemon juice and simple syrup, this bold concoction is shaken over ice and garnished with a vibrant lemon wedge for a crisp finish. Ready in just 5 minutes, this summer favorite is ideal for entertaining or unwinding after a long day. Despite its name, there's no tea involvedβjust a rich medley of spirits that come together for a crowd-pleasing experience every time.
Fill a shaker with ice.
Add 0.5 oz of vodka, 0.5 oz of white rum, 0.5 oz of silver tequila, 0.5 oz of gin, and 0.5 oz of triple sec to the shaker.
Pour 0.5 oz of simple syrup and 1 oz of lemon juice into the shaker.
Shake well until the mixture is fully chilled, about 15 seconds.
Fill a highball glass with ice.
Strain the mixture from the shaker into the glass over the ice.
Add a dash of cola on top to create a tea-like color.
Garnish with a lemon wedge and an optional lime wedge.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Long Island Iced Tea.
