Nothing quite beats you up at the end of a long day like a Long Island. Long Island Iced Tea (LIIT) is a longstanding mainstay and can be ordered basically at every bar that has liquor. LIIT's are infamous for getting people extraordinarily intoxicated. This version uses Midori and Coconut rum for a more tropical taste. It should be called a Tropical Melon LIIT in our opinion!

Ingredients

  • 1 Part Coconut Rum
  • 1 Part Midori
  • 1 Part Vodka
  • 1 Part Gin
  • 1 Part Tequia Blanco or Agave
  • 0.5 parts Orange Curacao
  • 0.5 parts Simple Syrup
  • 1 Fresh Squeezed Lemon
  • 1 Fresh Squeezed Lime
  • Pretty and Ugly ice.
  • Soda to top.

Instructions

  1. Combine all non-carbonated liquids into the small end of your Boston Shaker.
  2. Add ice to Large end of Boston Shaker, pour mixture, and agitate excessively.
  3. Strain out the ugly ice, and pour over fresh, pretty ice in a clean Collins or Hurricane glass.
  4. Top with Soda if necessary, and add a Lime or Lemon (OR BOTH!) Wheel as garnish.

Notes

You can use any flavor liquor to enhance this drink. We recommend using a Sweet Gin, a Top-shelf Vodka, Malibu Coconut Rum (you really don't taste the coconut!), and a high end Tequila. Ideally, you should enjoy all the ingredients that go into this drink as your choices will make an impact to your experiment!
