Speaking of Long Island Ice Tea's, does anybody know what was in them?
I had many bartender friends and I must have watched them mix one at some point but we are talking the 1980's here. Thats a long time ago.

I mostly remember that is was all liquor almost no mixer except for just a splash of coke to give it that ice tea color. If it was made exactly right you would almost think you were drinking lipton ice tea. But one or two of those mothers would get you really hamered, besides they always came in a big glass.

Another drink thats similar in that you don't realize how drunk you are getting is a perfectly made Cuban Mojito.

If a Mojito is made correctly (I think its got rum, sugar cane syrup, some kind of bruised leaf etc.) You can throw those back and never realize just how much you are drinking. When made right they are delicious.

So back to my question.....
Whats in a Long Is. ice tea?

Thanks,
