So this is the kind of video that folks who are home bartenders and "mixologist" enjoy. Some of us aren't just looking for a recipe. Sometimes, a video like this serves as inspiration. Literally today, I made a Mineola Sherbert that I acid adjusted (I used citric and tartaric acid). Keep the long form videos.

Between this and another video, I am loving how the Long Island Iced Tea can be turned into a classy drink.

Switch out the cointreau to blue curacao and the coke to sprite/7up and you get an Alaskan Iced Tea

Well that definitely sounds tasty AF and will be trying this out! Many thanks for all you do and Cheers!

Looks and sounds delicious!

Since I never really liked rhum and rarely have a bottle on hand, I once decided to make a Long Island with peach liqueur instead of rhum and it was a game changer for me and my guests. Adding angostura bitters and a spiced citrus syrup also sound like a great idea that I'll try next time.

As far as I know the original LIIT recipe is with white rum, which tastes really different from brown rum. I tried it with brown rum once when I was out of white, but definitely other prefer white!

Looks great. Definitely going to give it a go. Thx Steve!

Happy to see your channel blowing up like it has 🙂

Great content, Steve! Had an 80s revival cocktail challenge this summer where we similarly updated (awful) 80s standards into something a bit more refined - like an updated Blue Lagoon. Didn't think the Long Island was salvageable, so will have to try this!

I really like this format with the little recipe on the left corner. Great video, liked !

I always thought LIIT is lazy confused concoction designed to satisfy hard core alcoholics but your version makes it legit cocktail

2 things : First, I need to get some of those dashers. Second, I now want to try a taste off between the classic and the better! Thanks for the vid!

Long island ice tea and its variations are my fav. Will be trying this. Best one I've ever had Is a long island Peach ice tea, with peach gin and archers instead of triple sec

Didn't want to wait for the ingredients to make the citrus syrup to try some of the stuff you mentioned, so I did my own thing inspired by this and it was great! 1/2oz Bourbon 1/2oz Vodka 1/2oz Gin 1/2oz Aged rum 3/4oz Cointreau 1/4oz simple 1/4oz turbinado syrup A few dashes of each angostura and orange bitters A shake of ground ginger Top with coke in a glass of ice I needed to shake this one longer before pouring over ice because it needed more dilution, but it came out excellent! Ginger + bitters + aged liquours really add depth to this cocktail. Can't wait to try the full official version once I make the citrus syrup!

Recipe looks incredible. Definitely going to try it soon. Maybe stupid question, for the syrup, what are the conversions of the sugar, water? Also, could I just peel both the lemon and lime in the recipe? Keep up the amazing work.

I found one I thought you would like when we were on a cruise last week. Dublin Ice Tea (my wife got at the English Pub on board. • Bacardi superior rum • Jameson Irish Whiskey • Hennessy Cognac • port wine • Guinness Draught Stout I'm not 100% of the mixture but was told 2oz of everything except Guinness and they used 8oz of that.

Hey Steve... I'm a bartender from India and I absolutely love your videos. I just started my career as a bartender recently and I'd love to know if different shaking methods affect the quality or taste of the drink?

I wonder if the citrus syrup would work in an Old Fashioned. You usually garnish with an orange or lemon peel anyway... Maybe it would be too much citrus though.

Why do American restaurants that serve adult beverages always leave out the tequila? I have to ask for it every time. And sometimes they only bring me a shot of tequila on the side. And of course, that's an extra $8. Long Island tea has ALWAYS contained 5 liquors. And it should be served in a "TALL" glass.
