Fresh off my cruise and I am still thinking tropical drinks, that’s not strange right? Sharing a fun twist with a Blue Long Island Iced Tea. Yep ya heard that correct Long Island and Blue used in the same sentence. It gives it such a Caribbean twist, reminding me of the ocean and white sandy beaches.
A Blue Long Island is made by combining vodka, rum, tequila, gin, blue Curaçao, simple syrup, lemon juice, and lemon-lime soda. To serve, garnish the cocktail with a lemon wedge and a cocktail cherry.
What is the difference between a Traditional Long Island and a Blue Long Island Ice Tea?
The only difference is that you swap triple sec and cola for blue curacao and a lemon-lime soda. This gives you that beautiful blue colour.
Blue Long Island Iced Tea
The Long Island iced tea, or Long Island ice tea, is an IBA official cocktail, typically made with vodka, tequila, light rum, triple sec, gin, and a splash of coke/cola/soda ( keeping it “regionally” real here). Despite its name, the cocktail does not actually contain iced tea, but is named for having the same amber hue as iced tea.
So what the heck is a Blue Long Island Iced Tea right? Well it may just contain Blue Curacao and Lemonade, so more like a Modified Long Beach Iced Tea. Regardless of the name it is light, refreshing and tastes delicious. And I will be sipping poolside this summer.
