The waitress asked if I would like to try "Long Island Iced Tea." I did. It's strong stuff, and I asked what was in it. She said "rum, vodka, gin, and triple-sec. Absolutely no tea." It sure tasted like tea, though. Can anyone supply the correct proportions, and maybe some history and background for this stimulating beverage? -- Bob Marcus marcus@wanginst (Csnet) Wang Institute of Graduate Studies decvax!wanginst!marcus (UUCP) Tyng Road, Tyngsboro, MA 01879 (617) 649-9731
