Patch's Happy Hour: Long Island Iced Tea

The Long Island Iced Tea is the foundation of many elaborate mixed-drinks. The drink dates back to the 1970s and although it doesn't actually contain any tea, its taste is similar.

“We also have the new Skinny Long Island Iced Tea which is pretty popular,” said Tim Kuczinski, a bartender at Dave and Buster’s at Arundel Mills. “It’s the same idea but with a low calorie sour mix and Diet Coke instead.”

To give the original Long Island Iced Tea a try:

½ oz. Vodka

½ oz. Gin

½ oz. Rum

½ oz. Triple Sec

2 oz. Sour Mix

A splash of Coca-Cola

Combine all of the ingredients together and pour over ice. It's that simple.
