wasn't season 1 right about the time when fabio was doing those "i can't believe it's not butter" commercials? maybe just a year or two after?

oh, and labby... long island iced tea isn't just rum and coke...

this site lists the following recipie:

Long Island Iced Tea

3/4 oz. each: Rum, Gin, Vodka, Tequila, & Triple Sec, Sour Mix, Splash of Cola

Shake liquors with Sour mix, Pour in Hurricane or Large glass, Add splash of Cola, Garnish with a Lemon wedge

there's also this recipie, which i found here:

Long Island Iced Tea
3 parts Triple Sec
1 part Light Rum
1 part Dark Rum
1 part Vodka
1 part Gin
1 part Vermouth
3 parts Sweet & Sour Mixer (Tavern brand is best)
6 parts Coca Cola (try not to use Pepsi, it's too sweet for this)
1/2 part Tequila (optional to taste; I never added it)
and, of course, Ice.


There are many recipes out there, but none surpass this one. Many thanks to Dave Fun and Bupos (what was his name again?) for giving me and the world the recipe back in 1983.

here's another variation (from here ):

Bartender's
Long Island Iced Tea


1/2 shot gin
1/2 shot rum
1/2 shot tequila
1/2 shot vodka
splash Triple Sec
splash sour mix
splash cola


Blend ingredients together and serve over ice or frozen.


so, the exact ingredients and amounts vary, but clearly... a bit more than rum and coke. laugh

When in doubt, think about penguins. It probably won't help, but at least it'll be fun.
