INGREDIENTS

1 part Jack Daniel’s® Tennessee Whiskey
1 part triple sec
1 part sour mix

DIRECTIONS

Stir all ingredients with 4 parts lemon-lime soda. Garnish with a lemon slice and cherries.

MY ISLAND TEA

This is a variation of the Long Island Tea based on a punch recipe from an old friend. I don't really measure anything so just add everything to taste. This recipe is very sweet due to the concentration of tea so some may want to add just a little water.

INGREDIENTS

Any type of instant tea mix (sweetened)

Lemon Lime Soda

Vodka, Gin, Rum, Whiskey whatever turns you on

DIRECTIONS

In a lareg pitcher add 2-3 cups of instant tea mix. Fill pitcher half full with lemon lime soda and stir. Add alcohol as little or as much as you want. I have had this with Vodka and Seagrams 7 (not together), but it also works if you add the traditional mix of alcohols that go into a Long Island Tea. Chill and serve in tall glasses filled with ice.

WARNING THIS DRINK WILL SNEAK YOU FROM BEHIND SO BE CAREFUL!
