ReplyDeleteThat it is; that it is!
DeleteIf you use lime juice instead of lemon you get a better color and a nicer bite also i prefer dark rum to white to give it a bit more sweet and then you don't need the simple syrup ; )

ReplyDeleteLove a good Long Island! This looks like a fantastic recipe; I'll have to try it the next time I'm craving a cocktail.
ReplyDeleteIf there is no tea in the drink, why does it taste like iced tea?
ReplyDeleteI've had Long Island Iced tea, and it really does taste like iced tea! How can it, when it doesn't even contain tea?
ReplyDeleteWow, I haven't had one of these since my 20's. Sounds fabulous!

With the inclusion of tequila, this is technically a Texas Tea. No less delicious, mind you.
ReplyDeleteToo much Coke, you only need a splash for color.
ReplyDeleteYears ago, my Mom heard me order this drink, and thinking it was really ice tea, ordered it too. It had been a long, hot, tiring day, she was thirsty, ordered another, and wasn't much of a drinker.....'nuf said. The only time I saw my Mom drunk and she was so funny! Going to make one for the memory!
ReplyDeleteI only use 1/3 of an ounce of the Liquors, The dark rum and only a splash of coke, no syrup and serve in an Iced Collins glass.
ReplyDeleteBy the "World" I take it you mean the USA?
ReplyDeleteNever too much of anything..I would add some fruit on a small skewer... I Love Long Island Iced Tea and it does almost, taste like Sweet Tea but just a bit...mmmmmmmmm
