This article will show you the real long island iced tea recipe you find at most bars. A long island iced tea may seem like an easy drink to make but it actually contains a wide variety of ingredients.
Gather your ingredients. You will need half of a shot (.5 ounce) of triple sec, gin, light rum, tequila, and vodka. You will also need 1 ounce of sweet and sour mix, some cola, and a lemon wedge for garnish (optional).
You can either use a cocktail shaker or just mix the ingredients in a glass. Shake or stir all of the ingredients except for the cola and lemon wedge.

For a sweeter long island iced tea, use more sweet and sour mix and cut back a little on the liquor.
