Our first choice is a top-shelf Tequila Sunrise made by Pablo, at Diego's Pool Bar at Temptations Resort (formerly Blue Bay Getaway) in Cancun, Mexico

When that's not available, we fancy Long Island Ice Tea - equal parts rum, tequila, vodka, gin and triple sec, splash of lime juice, and cola to taste (they make the best ones at Red Lobster - gonna have me one on Sunday!!)

But I think I'm going to have to print out this thread and add it to my 'cookbook'.

Scroll back. There is no tequila in a Long Island iced Tea.

there is in MINE. and also, my Complete Home Bartenders Guide lists tequila as a standard ingredient.

If it was Texas, you probably got a Texas Tea, not a LIT. A LIT has rum, vodka, gin and triple sec. In a Texas Tea, the triple sec is replaced with tequila.

Also in the guide it says the Texas Tea omits the Triple Sec. It might be a misprint however, because Triple Sec is not actually mentioned in the ingredient list (Cointreau is).

Let me clear this up: There is NO TEQUILA IN A LONG ISLAND ICED TEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is not open for debate. This is not a conversation. It's a declaration! LOOK IT UP!

What happened to tolerance for other peoples' beliefs

100 Anos Reposado for shots, Tres Rios Anejo for mixing.  We have to bring the 100 Anos back from Mexico in bulk (who needs souvenirs) cause we haven't been able to find it up here.

salt and/or lime, or straight up?
