Long Island Cocktail

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Long Island is prepared and served in a cocktail glass "Highball". The glass is filled with ice cubes to the top, but I pour only half of the glass to my taste. I prefer to drink long drinks slowly, and in my glass any amount of ice has time to melt completely, inevitably distorting the taste of the drink. And you put ice to your taste.

2. Step 2:

   

   Add vodka. Bartenders use special measuring cups - jiggers. At home, I recommend using kitchen scales and a regular stack.

3. Step 3:

   

   Add sugar syrup.

4. Step 4:

   

   Followed by dry gin.

5. Step 5:

   

   Then, in the classic version, white rum (but you can also dark, no one will notice much :)

7. Step 6:

   

   Tequila is the next element.

8. Step 7:

   

   Squeeze lemon juice (or lime juice, whichever you like) directly into the glasses. I will prepare both options. Naturally, the bones should not get into the glass. Therefore, be safe - squeeze the juice through a strainer. Mix the cocktail with a teaspoon.

9. Step 8:

   

   And top up the classic taste cola to the edge.

10. Step 9:

    

    Decorate a glass with lemon slices. I cut the lime into segments and added it directly to the drink in the second glass. Decoration is a space for imagination. Long Island is served with two tubes.
