It's honestly quite okay. It's very easy to drink but it's not pretending to be something else. Had to try it because of its infamy but probably won't try it again. If I did I'd add a dash or two of Ango to spice it up.

This drink has a reputation of being a vehicle for easily consuming bad-tasting well-spirits, but it really is an impressive feat of mixology: 4 spirits; 8 ingredients are of equal parts; it all works somehow. This was the first homemade one that I've tried and it, not very surprisingly, was the best one I've ever had. I'd imagine that's mostly a result of using decent ingredients: Plantation 3 Stars, Hayman's London Dry, Ketel One, El Espolon Blanco, & Cointreau.

this sure does taste like you emptied the liquor shelf into a glass and topped it with cola.

limit cola to 50ml and simple syrup to 15ml ;)

A unique, conceptual drink that feels light and fresh despite containing a lot of booze, actually.

If you are tempted to cut the corner a bit and put in only lemon or lime juice, please don't. The combination of these two, IMHO, gives a delightful depth to the flavour.

Kan sagtens drikkes, men spild af ingredienser. Smager af tequila og citrus og der findes meget bedre tequila cocktails.

I always like to add a dash of angostura bitters to mine for a little extra depth.

I love this orinigal version, but do you have an Adios Mother F.(or a Alaskan Iced Tea) recipe, which is a blue riff on this cocktail, here too?

I discovered it years ago in Cyprus. I will next try the long island spiced tea

It's good but once you've tried the Tokyo Iced Tea variation with Midori Melon Liqueur there's no going back.

The plethora of ingredients leads, surprisingly, to a good refreshing, if alcoholic, cocktail.
