Monin Long Island Ice Tea

How To Make Long Island Ice Tea

A proper Long Island Iced Tea should be bold, balanced and far more refined than its reputation suggests. This MONIN version keeps the flavour crisp and clean: a mix of four light spirits lifted by fresh lemon juice, rounded with triple sec and pure cane sugar, then finished with a splash of cola for colour and smooth sweetness. Strong, refreshing and deceptively drinkable.

You will need

  • Cocktail Shaker
  • Strainer
  • Highball Glasses

Ingredients


Tasting Notes: 
Crisp lemon brightens a smooth mix of light spirits, finished with cola’s soft caramel sweetness. Strong, refreshing and surprisingly balanced.

How to make MONIN Long Island Ice Tea

  1. 1
    Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
  2. 2
    Add all ingredients except cola.
  3. 3
    Shake to combine.
  4. 4
    Strain into a highball glass with ice cubes.
  5. 5
    Float the cola over the top.

 


Why This Recipe Works: 
Equal small measures of four spirits prevent any one from dominating. Triple sec adds citrus depth, syrup adds balance, and cola ties everything together with colour and smoothness.
