4th of July Special: Long Island Ice Tea Three Ways
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ก.ค. 2018
- This week you get a bonus episode YAY! We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate independence day than by making a trio of patriotic Long Island Variations! These guys are easy and not necessarily a fully reconstructed drink, but tasty and balanced.
the Long Island was purportedly created by a guy named Robert "Rosebud" Butt at the Oak Beach Inn on Long Island around 1972. As the story goes he created the drink for a competition challenging bartenders to come up with a new drink containing triple sec.
I thought this was a fitting episode because when I was a kid 4th of July was a prime holiday to sneak booze and the Long Island Ice Tea was many people's first foray into drinking a cocktail including my own.
Here's The Specs:
.5oz or 15ml Beefeater Gin
.5oz or 15ml Altos Tequila
.5oz or 15ml Prairie Vodka
.5oz or 15ml Wray and Nephew overproof rum
.75oz or 20ml Fresh Lemon Juice
.75oz or 20ml Simple Syrup
For the Adios Motherfu%$er version add a scant .5oz or 15ml Giffard Blue Curacao.
For the Lemon sour version leave it as is.
For the Long Beach Ice Tea Version we opted to use Giffard Strawberry Liqueur instead of Cranberry so add another scant .5oz or 15ml on top.
Give it a light stir, garnish with a Lemon Peel and/or a Luxardo Cherry!
Enjoy and have a fun and safe holiday and remember to uber anywhere you go especially if you whip some of these up!
Cheers! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
This is what BBQs are for...you have a strong drink but you sit and eat a big meal and then try and play volleyball or badminton or checkers...you definitely don't try and drive anywhere! You are suppose to chill relax for hours on end. Thank GOD for Uber and Lyft!
Jim Beam and Tanqueray are missing a HUGE opportunity to support Uber/Lyft, either openly or quietly.
126 proof, for when you want to...have a really good BBQ
Nice to see Wray & Nephew White Overproof Rum getting an outing. Definitely a decent mixing rum. Beautiful with pineapple juice on the rocks.
I love this channel so much. Long Islands are the best and you made them right! It makes me so sad when people go heavy on the coke. It's just there for the iced tea color!! Anyway, this made my day.
I love it ! I can't wait for july!
Thanks you Barfly, very cool!
Now drink all 3
Love how the fly is jus chillin
I love Long Islands!!! Although I lost my taste for lemon later in life. So I make a variation where I sub the white tequila for white whiskey' then use lime juice instead of the lemon juice. I dial it back to a lil less juice then I use Cointreu just like you did(goes great with the lime). Love your show sir.
Love the video & drink. Don't forget the Triple Sec in the ending title sequence.
Thanks. We wish there was way to reupload fixed videos and hide our mistakes :)
The 'modifying ingredients' blunder in this video has given me uears worth of entertainment
Using old uncle Wray! You tryna kill us
Man tbh I wasn't too sure about subscribing so I watched a few more of your vids and yeah you crack me up and I like all drinks u bring to the channel, besides making mistakes on camera is great without them wouldn't be fun. Got a new sub!!! Thanks!!!!.
Jose Sanchez thank you!
Nice French flag 😉
Looks awesome, great job as always love your presentation
Andrew Player haha! That’s funny! Totally poured out of order facing camera but in order facing myself LOL
The Educated Barfly thought that was the case lol oopsie
Needs more flies in the shot at the end.
Sean Nelson I thought so to, I’ll make a note to add more
Would that be a barfly?
Sean Nelson hahahaha I was watching this on my tv and had to switch back to my phone so I wouldn’t bother me as much!
Enjoying making these drinks. Any chance we get how to make creme de mure? I can't find it anywhere near me.
Christopher Pettigrew yes I’ll do a video but if you want to find out right now go to my Instagram account I did an Instagram story on it and the method
Not even any coke as a mixer?! Damn these must be strong!
UnkleRiceYo coke doesn’t make a Long Island less strong, it just masks the booze, what makes these drinks strong is the 126 proof rum I put in it. But really there’s 2oz or 60ml of booze in this drink, same as an old fashioned
Coke would also ruin the look but you can add a squirt of sprite or lemon lime soda.
There is also simple syrup in this one
I thought he was gonna add some Sprite As in a regular AMF recipe!
Do you add a splash of Coke to give it the caramel 'ice tea' look when you're making a normal Long Island? Or is that a Texas thing?
Most places top off their Long Islands with a splash of Coke. Definitely not just a Texas thing ha! Think he was just trying to go for the "white" look so he omitted the pop.
Ah, overproof rum, paint thinner and molasses’ love child
Fortunate son started playing all of sudden around the 5 minute mark
Not on our video, or did you mean it started playing in your head?
Not an insult here but he reminds me of a fancy Jack Black. 😆🍸👍🏼 thanks for the awesome recipe I used it last year I can honestly say 65% percent of my guest stayed at my place killer drinks. Lol😁
glad to hear.
@@TheEducatedBarfly love this channel you rock.😀👍🏼🍸🍸🍸
Thanks Daniel. I'm from the School of Rock.
J Wray and nephew on deck 🇯🇲
Knew we were here to get fucked up when i saw Wray and Nephews on the bar
I triple the ratios in my LI ice t and add the strawberry liqueur and uv blue instead of blue curacao. I don’t remember what happens after tho.
wrrr
I add amaretto, dark rum, seltzer and make it taste like dr pepper
What is the difference in taste between triple sec, cointreau and curacao?
szczepek triple sec and Cointreau are basically the same thing, triple sec is an off brand. Curaçao is also orange liqueur but made with oranges specifically from the island of curaçao. So it’s flavor profile is a little different
Although both Grand Marnier and Cointreau are both from France and both created in the 1800s they are made totally differently. Grand Marnier starts as a cognac base and is macerated with Bitter Oranges, whereas Cointreau is a beet liquor that had oranges from Brazil, Spain and Africa added to it in the still and is redistilled. Cointreau claims to have the most essential oils in their product and the least amount of added sugar. Really Grand Marnier is closer to Curacao because it uses a proprietary style of orange in it's production. It actually used to be Called Curacao Marnier back in the day. Anyway, hope that cleared some things up for you!
Thank you! :)
szczepek I personally find triple sec to work better in a Long Island than cointreau and definitely can taste the difference also triple sec isn’t really “off brand” it’s not even a brand and is a house old recognized name for orange liquor
Where did the fly come from
I feel that substituting cointreau for blue Curaçao instead of adding it in the end makes the blue color even blue-er but that could be my screen only!
What's the point of double straining to get the ice chips out, then filling to the top with ice?
Ice chips and blocks of ice are two different things.
French people appreciates
Thanks for Vedieo!!
But I hope U decrease your stalling when U talk😂😂 It could be much better to hear
Thank u for Ur recepie again!!!
There is s fly flyin'round theer
it's an educated one.
I take it long islands arent your favorite drink to make?
LOL.
Add a stick for the cherry
Did u see the fly
He wanted to be educated
What is a simple syrup I'm honestly confused. Human syrup, dog syrup? Bird syrup? Maybe strawberry syrup?
Its simply half sugar and half water so essentially just sugar sirup, half and half. Mix them in a hot pan so the Sugar mixes nicely with the water
How would grenadine work do you think? If you did add sprite or some kinda lemon lime soda it would be like a Shirley temple I think. Or a dirty Shirley. Whatever it's called. Just the flavor I mean. I know the grenadine will be red as fuck.
Actually I tried it. Didn't have vodka so I did a full ounce tequila. Also used full oz lemon to 3/4 simple and floated 1/4 oz of the grenadine. It's actually pretty tasty. I know people will like it.
Kevin Fager yeah man glad it worked nice to get a little extra lemon in there and make it a little more tart, that was a good call! And grenadine or cherry syrup any of that is gonna work in this drink
So as a long islander I found the whole point of a Long Island is to not taste the liquor and end up on your ass I found my ratios that work best for me and it comes out great is .5 oz of each liquor including triple sec and 1 oz of simple syrup and lemon juice built in the glass and filled with ice and topped with coke I also find the coke is not really a flavor additive more a color variation to make it look like iced tea I also build straight in the glass as well as I find the lemon peel and oil expression over the top is nearly a requirement for taste it makes a crazy big difference and I’ve also recently discovered the flavor of an lit was improved greatly using an anejo tequila (also finally would highly recommend getting hands on triple sec specifically it’s a different flavor profile to cointreau) make this version of the Long Island and I promise you won’t go back primarily because after a few of these you’ll be on your ass and won’t remember anything else
solid contender for longest sentence i ever seen
Sean Danktis punctuation isn’t my best friend
check out my low calorie mudslide
Can’t get past the fact you had it set up right to be red white and blue and reversed it so it would be in order for you. Gotta remember you’re filing it and it will be reversed. Not that the order mattered, but since it did to you,,,,, figured I’d speak up.
Ooh look! A French flag made of booze!
exactly!
Use Tito’s guys
why does he change every single recipy -_-
ey u forgot the cointreu in the discription
Good catch!
And spelled Blue Curacao "Buracao in the cut scene.
@@bserieshatch1 oops. We can only strive for perfection!
@@TheEducatedBarfly no worries, not trying to bust your balls, just a heads up. LOL
