Im 24 and enjoy a drink from time to time.
Always intended to try a Long Island Iced Tea, but never have. Well I finally did, last night at TGI Fridays after a minor league hockey game.
Good stuff. Anyone else enjoy a Long Island iced Tea?

A Long Island Ice Tea has a shot each of rum, vodka, gin and tequila in it.
If they're made right they can be pretty strong. A lot of bars around here wouldn't serve them. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2001 Location: Maui | | Yup. No offense intended... they don't really taste like anything to me. Drink 'em if you like 'em.
I hung up the juice awhile ago, but I always preferred scotch or other old school crap like that. Tourists here love those drinks in disguise; LI Iced Tea, Mai Tai, Blue Hawaii, etc.
Now i'm really a lightweight... I like Pocari Sweat.  Side effects from gigs in Japan. |

Its usually a good beer, a couple fingers of Makers Mark, or some Macallan 12 for me depending on the mood.

Must be more than one way to make them, I guess. The Mai Tai's potency sure didn't seem to be in the same league, to me. Like any mixed drink I'm sure they can be watered down with a premade mix though.
I agree with all the other Polynesian drinks though. Too much juice, not enough booze. (Hey! Get that little umbrella out of my drink.)
Anywho, haven't had a Long Island Ice Tea in years, but a local hole in the wall once made some pretty good ones. More of a rum and coke guy myself. Well,......now it's rum and diet coke.
