Thermomix Long Island Iced Tea

This Thermomix version of the classic Long Island Iced Tea cocktail is made with five different spirits, lemon, a splash of cola, and plenty of ice. It's quick and perfect for entertaining. If you've never tried making cocktails in the Thermomix, this is a fun one to start with!

We love a good cocktail on a Friday night (or any night, really!), and this Long Island Iced Tea is one of my absolute favourites - right up there with a Thermomix Lime Mojito or a frothy Thermomix Espresso Martini.

It might not taste overly strong, thanks to the splash of lemon and Coke, but don't be fooled - the alcohol kicks in quickly once you've finished a glass!

Ingredients

Despite the name, Long Island Iced Tea contains no tea.

It is traditionally prepared with the following ingredients:-

• Tequila - white Tequila, also known as silver and blanco.
• Rum - white Rum, like Bacardi.
• Gin - Bombay Sapphire is one of our favourites.
• Vodka - such as Smirnoff.
• Triple Sec - can be replaced with Cointreau.
• Lemon Juice - freshly squeezed is the best. You can also use freshly squeezed lime juice.
• Coke - you can use diet or regular Coke. It is usually served with just a splash, although you can add as much or as little as you like, depending on how strong you like it!

Step by Step Directions

Note: This is a summary of the instructions. The full ingredients and instructions are shown in the recipe card below.
