Look, I'm a long time fan of the Long Island Iced Tea. Do not expect this to taste like a clone. First off, this is not nearly as sweet, which turned me off upon the first sip, but very quickly won me over considering I've been struggling to tone down my sugar consumption. This drink is a welcome find. The volume of the black tea in the recipe keeps this tasting like an iced tea, without too much influence from the spirits. Excellent recipe! (5 Feb 2022, 5:26p)
