Lines: 46 Well, Ellen, I normally don't read net.singles, but while thumbing through the news I saw your plea for the Long Island Iced Tea recipe. If you ever want a drink recipe, the best place to get it is in net.cooks. In order to stem any landslide of recipes for this drink ( as per last August ), I am submitting the "official version" as it was given to me. These things will really blow you away! As to successful parties, the thing you need is a good mix of people ( usually from different professions, so that "shop talk" is minimal), and something to do. Things can get boring just sitting, talking, eating, and drinking - even with the most briliant of conversationalists! The following is a rerun of last August's article ................ In response to Mark Mortensen's request for an iced tea recipe that tastes like the ones you get in a bar, I called the American Bartender's School in Chicago for the recipe that a professional would mix. The following is what I was told over the phone........ Iced Tea ( Also called New England Iced Tea or Long Island Iced Tea ) Take a tall glass ( 10 oz. or so ) and put in some cubed ice. Some bars mix the ingredients, others just pour them over the ice. Ingredients: 1/2 oz. Gin 1/2 oz. Vodka 1/2 oz. Rum 1/2 oz. Tequilla 1/2 oz. Triple Sec 1/2 oz. Whiskey sour mix Fill the rest of the glass with Coke ( 3/4 to 1 oz. ). From the looks of things above, one of these on a hot day would really put you in dreamland! Enjoy!
