"Long Island ced Tea"...the very first "cocktail" I tried while visitting the best friend in the ATL. The year was 2004, and my partner had died (yes, as in deceased) earlier that year. Came over to "hotlanta" for a weekend, and being the friend he is Case took me out to hang with his circle. Met really great guys and decided to have what a few others were having. One, and I was feeling no pain...two, I was really feeling very animated; three...well, after the third the rest of the evening is kinda a blur. Sometimes I have flashbacks as to what I said and did... I was told I had a very good time and the guys really enjoyed my company. Think maybe I haven't heard "alll" that happened...even after all these years...

In my younger days, this was my favorite mixed drink. I haven't had one in years. Interesting to know what was actually in it. 5*
