Second only to the margarita, this is a favorite drink of mine. You have a great recipe here. Smooth and tastes like a lemony glass of iced tea. I also think this is much better than Applebee's. Watch out, it really sneaks up on you. Thanks Tara.

YUM! I served these drinks on Thanksgiving Eve as my out of town family started arriving. This is one of our favorite drinks. Put us in a holiday spirit. This drink tasted so smooth, you weren't aware of the liquor. Sometimes that can be dangerous though. Tasted just like a cold glass of lemon iced tea.

I know for a fact that TIGF uses tequila in their Long Island Iced Tea

Sorry but this recipe is wrong. It should only be a 1/2 ounce of each and I know for a fact that it DOES NOT contain tequilla at fridays. I was a long time bartender at Fridays. And a top shelf is tanqueray, bacardi, absolut or other premium vodka and gran marnier. The black opal subs sprite for cola and adds chambord.

I used to work at Applebee's as a bartender, for some reason they do not put tequilla in the long island. If you want tequilla, at applebee's (at least the one I worked at)it's called a Texas Tea. This recipe is right on. My favorite is to put cranberry juice in instead of the cola. It's called a long beach iced tea and it is so good.

What happened to the tequilla? Long Island Iced Teas are usually made with Vodka, Rum, Gin, Tequilla and Triple Sec - Add sour, shake, add a shot of Coke for color and garnish with a lemon

For a "top shelf", try Bacardi, Smirnoff and Tanqueray!! It eliminates the "bite". I LOVE this recipe...and now all my friends are hooked!
