Review:

Packing six different spirits, this Texas Tea is basically a Long Island Iced Tea with bourbon, and packs a suitably large Texan punch, especially if made with 6 x 15ml (½oz) measures of spirit as per the original recipe. If so choose a large (14oz) Collins to accommodate sufficient cola to achieve the desired dilution.

Bloody hell. How is this drink so smooth and easy to down? Whether it's the proportions or the bourbon (Makers Mark I used), it takes away even more of that edge from a regular Iced Tea. Super smooth drink

Omit the simple syrup. I used 1/4 sour mix and 1/4 margarita mix instead of lime and lemon juice. A terrific summer sipper for Southern afternoons in South Carolina.
