Blue Long Island Iced Tea drink recipe

Once upon a time, it must have occurred to someone that the Long Island Iced Tea was nearly perfect, except for one thing: it wasn’t blue. The Blue Long Island cocktail fixes that.

Tennessee Tea, a Classic Jack Daniels Cocktail

The original Tennessee Tea drink recipe blends Jack Daniels with cola, triple sec and sour mix, but I actually substitute fresh ingredients for the bottled sour mix.
