Long Island Iced Tea

This is a rather sweet, very strong drink. It packs a powerful punch because the amount of different kinds of alcohol in it is masked by all the sweet flavors, including Coca-Cola. I really cannot remember the last time I drank one of these because they're usually quite expensive at bars and they require an extensive liquor cabinet to make at home. I do not think they're really that delicious anyhow.

This drink will knock you out. The deadly combination of vodka, gin, tequila, and rum tastes surprisingly innocuous. It's a sweet, tasty way to get drunk fast.

It's like drinking candy. Then you are drunk http://www.mindreign.com/en/search.mr?keyWords=mixe d+drinks&browseCategories=%2Fen%2Findex.mr& browseFormats=%2Fen%2Findex.mr&browseTo=

ah yes, the nectar of the long island iced tea gods. Sir. Thomas Lipton would be most impressed--all he wanted was to get hammered.

AKA a way to get lightweight chicks drunk so you can... well, you get the picture...

I wouldn't exactly call them my drink of choice, but a well made Long Island ice tea is almost pure alcohol, yet it doesn't taste like a strong drink. It's hard to say whether my opinion on them is valid, however, as I don't think I've ever had one as one of my first couple drinks of the night.

Pace your self.

Folks lets be honest here,when it comes to this drink do we really care what it taste like? after a few sips I can't even remember what this taste like.It goes down smooth enough,and all I can ever drink is one.and Im set for the night.

It hits hard, but taste like crap.

Not yummy, but packs a punch.

If you live in Minneapolis, MN a bar on Hennepin Avenue call Rock Bottom makes the perfect Long Islands. Not very sweet, just perfectly mixed. Everywhere else I've gone just doesn't measure up!

Good drink overall, but it can be totally ruined if the bartender doesnt know how to make it right.

Too sweet for me, although one on a hot day, lounging on a patio, can be pleasant.

I have drank these on holiday.They tasted nice and they went down far too well.Since i really couldnt taste the alcohol i found i was drunk much sooner than i planned on being.

I like them but they don't seem to like me...they always talk back.

Its hard to beat a Long Island when all you want to do is get good and hammered! Its a definite go to when you can't quite make up your mind about what you are going to order.

These are dangerously potent.As an ex-bartender,I can make Killer Iced Teas:Gin,Vodka,Triple Sec,Lemon Mix,Cola and a splash of rum on top.If you get the proportions right,you can hardly tell it from plain old Iced tea-until it kicks your butt!

It's a sleazy drink. It is 100% about getting plowed.

Squeeze a lemon in it, and the liquor taste is gone. It's the worst mixed drink for your healths sake, but it sure will get you drunk with a quickness!

With the five whites (vodka, gin, tequila, rum and triple sec) it can be magic but when made with that horrible Long Island mix, putrid.

Brings back horrible memories.

best hard drink ever, but don't plan on doing anything important the next day...

All you drink technicians in here are making me laugh with your exact recipes. All I know is it F*CKS ME UP :-)

Long Islands are Great. But HERE IS THE SECRET, ADD A LITTLE OJ TO CANCEL OUT THE TASTE OF TEQUILA.

If I wanna get DRUNK-I'll have maybe 2 Long Island Iceteas! Many a times I was sick from too many. It happens very quick. If you have a low tolerance-stay away!!!

I have read opinions about Long Island Ice tea. I tried it yesterday. I can say that it is good but if there is someone who can help you go home. the third cup was the K.O. All what I could remember is the bartender tellng me " if you don't leave the bar I will call cops"!!. I don't understand why he was telling me that. even worse, I think the cab driver stole me 20 bucks. thanks god I got up this morning in my bedroom. Long Island ice tea is a good drink only if you are in a safe place. don't drink it if you are alone in a bar.

Requires a higly skilled bartender to make it right and only high quality liqours blend with ice tea. Also too strong of a tea can overpower the drink. If you want something complicated be prepared to have it vary widly based on the skill of the bartender. If it is made right though, it can be a real treat. I agree with the rating that said it is a dangerous drink. Many people (especially girls) don't relize that this drink can get you slammed after just a few. Personally, I stick with the Vodka gimlet or whiskey sour.

I used to be a bartender and this drink will kill you faster then the rest. It doesn't taste like a drink and some people over do it.

I good drink. A few of these babies will knock you on your ass. Personally, I think it would be better with some more rum and less tequila. It all depends on who is mixing it.

This is the good time drink....everyone likes it!

I enjoy Long Island Iced Tea's because they are smooth, contain a lot of alcohol, and after four or five they get me where I need to be. Long Islands contain vodka, rum and gin. When mixed just right with Coke and sweet and sour they can be refreshing.

Great for the first few drinks of the night. I think that the Long Island Ice Teas get you started up well, but after a few of them it is a good idea to switch to something with less liquor in it, like beer.

My favorite mixed drink. It has to be mixed just right. The bartender is what really makes a Long Island Ice Tea. The stronger the better.

You only have to drink a couple of them to get drunk. They taste great if you are into alcohol. "Long" means long glass to last longer.

They're really strong and have lots of hard alcohol in them, perfect! They start to taste gross and too strong after awhile. You don't need to drink very many though.

This is a nice starter drink, especially at clubs. After a couple of glasses you feel it working. It tastes very good, not that strong. It's a good mixed drink.

It's great for when you want a quick buzz. It's good if you like strong drinks. You can taste the alcohol but it still tastes great!

The first time I drank Long Island Iced Tea, I got a pretty good feeling off it. I was at a club and I got me a hella good ass buzz. Later on I got another one and that's when I really started to enjoy the night.

This is the best club drink. Not too harsh and at the right spot they'll taste better than a smoothie. Three is all you need and I drink big, so three to five should satisfy anyone.

Excellent taste! This combines a lot of alcohol, therefore it contains a lot of alcohol. Have a couple of these for a good night. Have too many... don't remember the night.

This drink really had me messed up at a party. It gave me a cool ass buzz which made me hurl at the club one night.

This is the most gnarliest mixed drink of all. A true sleeper. You don't realize that the drink is made of all the essential hard alcohol. Truly worth the money at the bar.

Long Island Iced Teas are probably the best mix of just alot of liquors thrown together. They're dangerous though!!!

Great if you want to get drunk quick. A mix of a bunch of alcohols, and doesn't taste bad. I have gotten extremely hammered numerous times on about four or five of these.

I beleive that this mixed drink is off the floor. Long Island Iced Teas are hella strong and the source of my everyday drinking life. They hit you hella quick because they are filled with hella alcohol. It's a sippin' kind of drink, and the taste of it is pretty cool too.

Tastes great. I like all the different alcohols. Gets you there. Perfect party mix.

This drink is strong and will knock people on their tush. It's a lot of alcohol for a very good price. My #1 choice for a bar drink. Personal preference- no tequila (though technically that would be a Texas Tea), extra sweet and sour. That's the perfect mix. Lot's of alcohol still, but easy to pound. LIIT = vodka, gin, rum, triple sec, equal parts sweet and sour and a dash of coke.

Again, perfect mixture of alcohols. Sometimes one overpowers the other when amateur bartenders are present.
