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

15 ml MONIN Pure Cane Sugar syrup
10 ml London Dry Gin
10 ml vodka

25 ml lemon juice
Cola, to top

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

Why This Recipe Works:
