How to Make a Tokyo Iced Tea

Just like making a Long Island Iced Tea properly, making a Tokyo Iced Tea takes some skill as well. Following measurements carefully with this recipe will ensure a great flavor. Tokyo Iced Tea is a melon-flavored, sour drink that's great for any time of year. If you're drinking these, be sure you have a save way to get home.

Things You'll Need

• 1 oz. vodka
• 1 oz. light Rum
• 1 oz. tequila
• 1 oz. gin
• 3 oz. melon liqueur
• 1 oz. orange liqueur
• 2 oz. sour mix
• Shaker
• Ice
• Highball glass
• Lime
• Cherry

Instructions

1. Fill the shaker with ice cubes.

2. Pour vodka, rum, tequila and gin into the shaker.

3. Pour melon liqueur, orange liqueur and sour mix into shaker.

4. Shake until cold.

5. Fill highball glass with ice.

6. Strain drink into highball glass and if desired, garnish with lime wedge and maraschino cherry.

Tips & Warnings

• Because there is a lot of liquor in it, the ice in the shaker melts quickly as it cools the liquor. Strain the drink into a glass full to the top with fresh ice. This will keep the drink from getting too watered down, destroying the taste and it looks much nicer.
