"I'm going to show you how to make a Short Island Iced Tea. Not to be confused with a Long Island Iced Tea, the ingredients are slightly different. Alright, we're going to start off with our ice and we're going to pour this into our glass, just like so. And then we're going to add one and a half ounces of Southern Comfort. Alright, that's one and a half. And I'm using a jigger to measure my liquor which you can get at a bar supply store or a liquor store. It's got one ounce on this side and a half ounce on the other side and I'll show you how that work with my spice rum, which we're also going to add one and a half ounces of, just like so. And then we're going to add just a splash of sour mix, "mmm, mmm, mmm". And that's going to give you that lemony tea flavor. Go ahead and shake this up. We're going to pour this into a pint which you can also use a mason jar, that's a lot of fun, here we go. And you're going to fill it the rest of the way with cola. Stir it gently and there you have a Short Island Iced Tea. Cheers!"
