A Long Island Iced-Tea Party.

[ladybirder]

Just been invited to one. Thought, Ooo lovely, different teas to taste (but will secretly stash some Yorkshire Tea bags in my pocket). The I googled it. Not quite what I imagined.

Whoopee! And cake as well. Anybody heard of one before?

They are VERY potent. Five different white spirits but strangely, it tastes really smooth.

[rockyracoon]

Leave the teabags at home Ladybird and go and enjoy yourself. They are a great tasting cocktail but can swiftly catch up on you if you're not careful.

[jno]

yes, they're lovely. And each one is lovelier thax hte oenbefrrrit

[rockyracoon]

Lol jno ;)

There was an incident a good few years back when shortly after Nick & Jill Faldo split up she got completely trollied on LIIT and got up close and personal with her tennis coach at a party at her sports club......it was splashed all over the Daily Mail.

Do be careful Ladybirder!

[ladybirder]

Oh my word - for someone who has the odd couple of glasses of wine now and again this is going to be interesting. There'll be plenty of fresh homemade cakes and scones so I must remind myself to eat plenty to soak it up - like I need to.

Thanks for the warnings guys, and I'll watch out for the tennis coach eccles:-) Or maybe he should watch out for me. Or maybe I just won't care.

Had to give you BA for that remark jno.

The LITT was splashed all over the DM, eccles? - what a waste of a good drink :-)

[DTCwordfan]

Now are we going to see Ladybirder splashed over the Daily Wail? AOG would go aplopectic if the headliner is "ABer caught teabagging after Long Island Tea rave. What is 'Sensible' Britain coming to?"

[ladybirder]

I can see the headlines now DT "Pensioner falls asleep in the corner with the cat at LIIT Rave". Oh the embarrassment.

[DTCwordfan]

Enjoy yourself - they taste tea like and they good, just remember a good cocktail is 80 per cent alcohol.......

[EcclesCake]

I think I'll be monitoring the DM website for updates.....could be interesting!

[giveup]

Enjoy!!!!

[EcclesCake]

Boxtops it was more than LIIT that got splashed about.........

[Clanad]

Here's the recipe most often used at our house here in the U.S.:
1 part vodka
1 part tequila
1 part rum
1 part gin
1 part triple sec
1 1/2 parts sweet and sour mix
1 splash Coca-Cola
Mix ingredients together over ice in a glass. Pour into a shaker and give one brisk shake. Pour back into the glass and make sure there is a touch of fizz at the top. Garnish with lemon.

First time I saw the recipe I din't know whether to drink it or rub it on as a salve...

[Peter Pedant]

better than an anaesthetic.

One knocked out my brother in law

[ladybirder]

Eugghh! I don't like rum and I bet that'll be the overriding flavour?? Thank goodness it's not until next week so I've got time to build up my resistance:-)
Thank you clanad.

[ladybirder]

PP one mouthful's going to knock me out!

[rockyracoon]

Might be white rum Ladybird, so won't taste so strong.

[ladybirder]

I do hope you're right rocky. Well actually no, I hope there's no rum in it at all.

Although this one looks better, I love raspberries and the rum's probably not as strong.

Where is the party? Can I come? Long Island Iced Tea is my favourite drink. Can't abide normal tea.
