Notes

  • Long Beach Tea: Replace the cola with cranberry juice – very refreshing and eye catching with a beautiful pink colour.

  • Texas Tea: Add another spirit into the mix - bourbon! Needless to say this IS stronger than the original.

  • Hipster Iced Tea: This is what my husband and I call our version which replaces some of the spirits with more trendy equivalents. A mix of Pisco, Mescal, Grand Marnier, Gold Rum and whatever else is lurking in the back of our drinks cabinet ;)

  • Calculating the SYNS in a Long Island Iced Tea is a bit complex. A 25ml shot of each of the spirits is around 3 syns while Orange Liqueur is 4. One serving contains 75ml of alcohol which works out as 8-9 syns if you top up with Diet Coke. Use only one teaspoon of each of the spirits to bring the Syns down to 4.
