【Bartending Talk】When We Talk About Long Island Iced Tea

I have to say that this thing is too classic, even a bit vulgar, or a classic for modern people. Some people who have never drunk cocktails are familiar with it (personal observation), and it is accompanied by a legend of the so-called lost wine.

Because the taste is sweet, it overwhelms the strong alcohol taste, which makes people drink too much and get drunk without realizing it, so it is also called depersonalized wine.

The recipe for the classic version is a blend of four classic base wines:

• a vodka
• a rum
• a gin
• 1 serving of agave

A bourbon may be added in subsequent changes

Then follow-up changes add a brandy

I went, so the six major base wines all lived together. I have to say, a glass of bartender drinks 6 shots - hey, it's quite worth it

The constant part (in fact, not necessarily) is:

• half lemon juice
• slice of lemon
• Filled with Coke!

This completes a cup of Long Island Iced Tea - now look at the color and you should understand why it's called that.

Our name is Long Island Iced Tea - reading it in an Indian accent will give you an inexplicable joy, and it's not easy to read. Of course, you can also call it Long Island for short.

An extremely uniform formula, easy to remember and delicious, and the bubbles brought by cola and the acidity of the lemon will reconcile the stimulation of the alcohol itself, and the rum will also bring a sweet smell, but its alcohol content is actually quite high (but In fact, the taste of the wine is more obvious.)

And the origin of the so-called lost liquor should be to replace the normal vodka (about 30%) with the water of life (96% alcohol vodka) - who can stand this thing (((

The reason why it is called a classic is because of the classic idea of this recipe, using sparkling drinks and lemons to cover the intensity of the alcohol - take notes here, this idea will be used in many places to remove the stimulating taste of the alcohol itself, and the rest It is the taste of the wine itself, and many different types of wine are mixed in equal proportions and neutralize each other.

Although it is an equal ratio, there are also good and bad points. The subtle changes in different places and the control of the amount of Coke added are enough to draw a gap: the industrial beverage that alcohol is brutally mixed into Coke and the veritable tea . A qualified long drink that can be tasted slowly
