Texas Tea Vs. Long Island

[Strifeling]

I live in Texas and work in a steak house that claims that has a Texas Tea in which the only difference between it and a Long Island Iced Tea is that the TT has tequila. I looked all over the internet and it says the difference is that a Texas Tea has bourbon. When I brought it up even the customers were saying that it's the only difference is that the LIIT doesnt have tequila and the TT does. Is it Just a Texas thing?

LIIT have tequila in his structure just like TT.
But the only one difference between them is that TT in his structure have Burbon Whiskey and LIIT don't...

hmmm,which one ist that???:confused:
what is the recepie for that cocktail???

erm... dun the whisky turn the TT taste abit off

[MixyFlairStyle]

I didn't try TT but I think that burbon gives him a very special taste and it's very good in combination with Coke.
But from the other side it is not usually and it's very rarely that you will find the recepie where Burbon is in combination with 3 or 4 other basic drinks like in TT case.......(Agent Orange...)

Now I'm very curious what's the taste of TT so at the evening I will make the one and try it.........

[DM Nathan]

All I remember about Logan's Roadhouse Tea is it has Everclear in it...I heard that it's actually lemonade, everclear and coke. But I don't really believe that, but I do know for a fact it's got everclear (grain alcohol) in it.

[Sn0w_MaN]

well if ppl now wat is put inside why dun we give a try at home after knowing what is in it.

Anyone know the base of TT

[jooldiguana]

My LIIT has teq - along with vodka, gin, rum and triple sec
My TT loses the tequila, gains the whiskey or bourbon

[MixyFlairStyle]

The recepie of TT is the same like LIIT,but the only one difference between them is that TT in his structure have Burbon Whiskey and LIIT don't...

[Sn0w_MaN]

well since everyone know it then try it at home you willl know the taste of the TT. I am sorry i am not a bourbon person so TT is not my cup of tea

[MixyFlairStyle]

I was try it but I'm not impress from the reason I don't like LIIT neither...

[Illjazz]

The recipe on the site uses a one-gallon pitcher. Any idea how to shrink this down to a single serving? Maybe 1/2 or 1/4 oz for each spirit?

Has anyone who's made this think that just adding bourbon to the LIIT recipe really make that much difference in taste?

[MixyFlairStyle]

who like the burbon or driks him often,he will fill the difference but others,I don't think so....

[Sn0w_MaN]

i think better dun spoli the lovely taste of long island, pls dun add bourbon if u r not keen in bourbon

[MixyFlairStyle]

I can't agree with you because "no discussion abouth smacks"....
I was try TT and the taste is OK. but I don't like ice teas and I'm not impressed but the taste is good...

[Sn0w_MaN]

haha.. as i say i am not a bourbon person so i am sorry we share different things

[MixyFlairStyle]

OK.You're right but that is'nt enough good reason that you don't try TT......ha,ha,ha!!!

[Strifeling]

So does anyone know if theres a reason everyone considers the recipe for a LIIT to not have tequila, I just want to know if it's a texas thing. If you could ask your local batender and see if it's local for you too.

[MixyFlairStyle]

hmmm....maybe I didn't understood your point,but you can't make LIIT without Tequila.......NO WAY!
But,you can make some other Tea without Tequila but that cocktail can't be called LIIT.
