How to Make a Long Island Iced Tea

Long Island Iced Tea RecipeEvery time I go out with a group of friends or entertain at our home someone orders a Long Island Iced Tea. It’s one of the most popular cocktails in America, especially among females. It’s a drink that I’ve been making and enjoying for several years. It’s easy-to-make but does require quite a few ingredients compared to other cocktail drinks.

    I have never made one of these , but I did have it once in a restaurant. I am glad to have this recipe so that I can try it out.

  2. I have enjoyed these when I have been at a restaurant but never made one myself. It would be very refreshing.

  3. I’ve heard of these before, but never tried one. I’ll take my backyard Ice Tea with fresh mint leaves instead.

  4. I have not had one of these in like 25 years and you only need one lol. Thanks for sharing this recipe this would be fun to make this summer.
