Long Island Tea
Long Island Iced Tea, LIIT
Ingredientes
Instrucciones
Combine all ingredients (except cola) and pour over ice in a highball glass. Add the splash of cola for color. Decorate with a slice of lemon and serve.
Long Island Tea es una variación del Long Island Iced Tea que sustituye el sour mix por jugo de limón fresco y usa un toque de cola para darle color, produciendo una bebida ligeramente más ácida y menos dulce. La combinación de vodka, ron, ginebra y tequila otorga una resistencia sustancial mientras que el cítrico ilumina el perfil general. Es un básico de fiesta que se sirve mejor frío sobre hielo.
History & Origins
Long Island Tea is closely related to the Long Island Iced Tea, sharing the same multi-spirit philosophy that emerged in American bars in the 1970s. Origin is disputed between competing claims in New York and Tennessee. The use of actual lemon juice rather than sour mix represents a bartender's preference for a fresher, more citrus-forward interpretation.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Bright lemon juice with light spirit notes and a hint of cola sweetness. Palate: Tart and multidimensional with the interplay of four spirits balanced by fresh citrus acidity. Finish: Sour-sweet with a warming alcoholic tail and hints of cola.
Pro Tip
Squeeze fresh lemon juice immediately before mixing to preserve the bright citrus acidity that distinguishes this version from sour mix variations.
