Long Island cocktail is a well-known cocktail mix. Many stories have been made about it. Robert Butt (a Long Island, New York bartender) is believed to be the inventor of the drink.
Long Island cocktails consist of five or six different types alcohol mixed with one or two sweetened mixers. Depending on the version of the cocktail, ingredients can include gin or vodka, triple sec, tequila, triple-sec, coke and tequila. The drink is served in a highball glass. To avoid overmixing, the ingredients should be added one after another.
Long Island cocktails are made with gin, a citrus-flavored liquor with a pine aroma. The drink is mildly sweetened by a bit of bitterness. Tequila is used to balance the sharpness of the other ingredients. It is typically paired with lime soda or lemonade. These ingredients are said to be very potent and should not be eaten after dinner.
The glass should be filled with ice and the drink is made in a highball glass. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Stir well. Some recommend that the glass be filled with two to three ounces booze. However, this can make the drink taste bland. It is better to use solid ice cubes in the glass. These won't melt quickly and will ensure the drink remains icy for longer.
Long Island is one of the most well-known cocktail recipes, but you can make many variations. Blue Long Island is one variant. This drink is slightly stronger that a traditional Long Island, but it is refreshing. It is a refreshing, citrus-flavor drink that pairs well with a meal.
Another variant is the Tokyo Iced Tea. This version replaces cola with lemon lime soda. It also contains Midori melon vodka.
Blue Long Island is an excellent drink to accompany a meal. It is also great with salty-sweet dishes. This is a wonderful drink that you can enjoy throughout the year.
Long Island cocktails can be very calorie-dense, so you should have one after dinner. It's also very high in alcohol so it is not recommended for pre-dinner. It is also known for causing a hangover. Bartenders are known to drink too much alcohol, which can affect the taste of the drink.
There are also other variations of Long Island cocktails, such as the Grateful Death Iced Tea and Tennessee Iced Tea. Grateful dead's version replaces Triple Sec by Chambord. The Tennessee version is similar, but leaves out Tequila.
The original Long Island cocktail recipe doesn't seem to be widely accessible. You can make your own version.

How To
How to make a good martini?
A martini can be made from gin or vodka, vermouth, and water. The ingredients must be mixed together properly before serving. It's best to serve it in a chilled glass. You should serve a proper martini straight up without adding anything. Mixing it with anything else will ruin its taste.
The most common way to serve a martini is with two olives on top. Olive brine can be added to the rim of the glass to enhance the flavor.
While you can use any alcohol, it's better to use 100% of the grain alcohol like Vodka and Gin. This gives the cocktail smoother texture. There are many types of vermouths available. We recommend that you choose one with no added sugar. Cocktails that contain sugar are too sweet.
Make a martini by adding 2 ounces of dry Vermouth to a shaker. 1 ounce vodka is added. Shake vigorously until well combined. In a chilled martini shaker, add the olive and garnish with a lemon wedge.
To make a martini using a shaker, follow the same steps above. Remember not to shake the mixture too much - only enough to combine all the ingredients.
