Grapefruit Long Island Iced Tea Recipes

This is the classic Long Island Iced Tea, containing just a hint of citrus. It is best made with top shelf liquors. Watch out, it is very strong, but tastes very good, so you may not realize all the alcohol you're consuming.

As white light is the combination of all wavelengths of color visible to the human eye, so too is Long Island iced tea the rainbow of high-proof liquors mixed into a balanced cocktail. When done right, it's surprisingly bright and refreshing. A prism of vodka, gin, rum, tequila and triple sec, this batch variation - ideally served in a pitcher - is a cooling blitz of a drink, reminiscent of the best parts of a whiskey sour, or a hot summer's day. Fresh lemon and lime juice bring sourness and bitterness, and a splash of cola and a bit of maple syrup round things out.
