Don't let the name of this drink fool you. While it may look like iced tea in a glass, Texas Tea is actually more powerful than the famous Long Island Tea. This drink has the same ingredients (meaning almost all the spirits from the bar) and the added bonus of whiskey. Mix everything with a sour mix of lemon juice and simple syrup, add a splash of cola to give the cocktail a visual justification for its name, and get ready for a truly fun party!

Ingredients:

Sour mix

• 30 ml lemon juice
• 15 ml simple sugar syrup, see recipe below

Classic Texas Tea

• 15 ml of vodka
• 7 ml of gin
• 7 ml of rum
• 15 ml tequila
• 15 ml of whiskey

• A little cola
