Even without the tequila there is fomenting missing-.Gonna have to ask a bartender
Get rid of the tequila and it’s perfect! Most bars don’t use tequila because the taste is too overwhelming. I actually just substitute good store-bought lemonade for the lemon juice/sugar syrup and it works every time!
I had gotten a similar recipe and Ina’s from Better Homes and Garden — the key is fresh lemon juice — the sour mix does not taste anywhere near fresh lemons — second we use the same amount of simple syrup as the lemon juice and it makes a perfect long island — if you only want to make one (I don’t know who would ) but it is a half oz of each of the liquors to 1oz of fresh lemon juice and 1 oz of simple syrup — we add coke or diet coke to taste — I like more coke than others but add that at the end — if you are making a batch for guest — add the coke once you are ready to serve right in the guest’s glasses — do not put the coke in until the end. Hope it helps
1/2 of a teaspoon? Is that right? I would think it calls for about 1/2 of a cup.
Anyone?
Just like mom made on those hot California days.
Very potent but cooling on a hot summer day. Use a designated driver after two.
it was great
OK, I did substitute “sour mix” for the lemon juice and Triple Sec for the Cointreau, and I remember on the show she specifically said 1/4 C each of the booze, etc (and a jigger is 1/2 oz less than that)…but it came out tasting almost smoky & not at all like the Long Islnds you get in a bar…DANG if I can’t find a way to make these just as good at home??!!
