History

Italian for "four whites," the Quattro Bianchi dates from 1980s and is the Italian answer to the Long Island Iced Tea.

Review

Like the Long Island Iced Tea, the Quattro Bianchi uses "all the white spirits in the well" but is a tad dryer than most renditions of the LA Iced Tea.

Even though this has a lot of ingredients, it still tastes like a base that you would add extra flavours into but would rarely drink on its own. As nice as is, it was improved each time I added another liqueur or syrup.

Surprisingly lame/tame. Not tart/sweet enough? The void from the no-cola is deafening. I guess this had to be a thing? I may just experiment with different fizzy toppers now though, hmm...

Dangerous, but in a very good way. Slightly tart and very refreshing. All ingredients blend well together. It is very easy to drink and not realize the amount of alcohol in the cocktail.
Perfect anytime, but excellent on a warm afternoon.
Being in Southern California (San Diego) we had our cocktail with a spicy batch of guacamole and corn tortilla chips/crisps.
