Have you tried adding maple syrup yet?
Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty, and the pigs like it...

Definitely not [laugh]

I see you trying to turn my Long Islands into a nor'easter.  Not on my watch. [laugh]

I have sweet and sour mix and have tried that.

Lemon juice and simple syrup seems to be the alternative. I'm skeptical that it would produce a noticeable difference though.

I did try a recipe that used 2 tbsp of lemon juice and much more than a splash of Coke to balance that out. It was drinkable but not the greatest.

But again I think the change in rum made a huge difference.

You could give your favorite bartender a huge tip for the recipe and save a huge chunk of time and money.

It's all about the money.

I'd have to go to bars and then find a favorite bar tender though.

Long Island is, in fact, in the Northeast.... ;D

I'm going to guess that would cost more than if I would just figure it out on my own at home

There's the dream team right there. I'm still going to pick up some white tequila but I'm pretty happy with the ingredients I currently have.

That'd be a wrong island iced tea.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

Here's the current leading recipe. Silver tequila helped. I've been using store bought sweet and sour mix and I want to make my own simple syrup to go with lemon juice. I think that would put it right.

1 /2 ounce vodka
1 /2 ounce gin
1/2 ounce white rum
1/2 ounce silver tequila
1/2 ounce Triple Sec

1 ounce sweet/sour mix


1/2 cup cola, or to taste (at least 3 oz)

So, this is what you're bringing instead of a motorcycle?
