Method

  1. 1

    Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.

  2. 2

    Add the vodka, light rum, gin, tequila, triple sec, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup to the shaker.

  3. 3

    Shake vigorously for about 8–12 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted.

  4. 4

    Fill a highball glass with fresh ice.

  5. 5

    Strain the shaken mixture into the glass and top with cola to taste.

  6. 6

    Garnish with a lemon wedge and serve immediately with a straw.

The Long Island Iced Tea combines several spirits with lemon, sugar, and cola. Measure carefully because it is stronger than it tastes.
