Hmm… Variations? It is very interesting… I decide to explore one of “real man” cocktail, one of cocktail which no recomend to woman… I explore Long Island Iced Tea, dorks!
A few information about this concoction was found here and here.
Long Island Iced Tea
20 ml gin
20 ml tequila
20 ml vodka
20 ml light rum
20 ml Cointreau
20 ml fresh lemon juice
50 ml cola
Shake all ingredients except cola, strain in ice-filled collins glass (400 ml) and fill with cola. Garnish with lemon slice.
It is very “refreshing” drink with a big, nuclear kick. LIIT has some variations, which I try too.
Variations:
Long Beach Iced Tea: Simply a Long Island with cranberry juice instead of Coca-Cola. Named after the city of Long Beach, NY, (not Long Beach, CA, as many believe) which is on Long Island, and is where the drink was invented.

Admirable!
Adios Motherfucker: Also known as a “Code Blue” or “Blue Fucker” due to its azure hue, this concoction is topped with Sprite (or another lemon-lime soda) instead of Coca-Cola and use blue curacao liqueur instead of triple sec (Cointreau).

I feel myself like real japanese after with very “refreshing” drink ;)
Unfortunately, I don`t have health for continuing of investigation and next variations of LIIT I want to try in future after few visit to my hepatologist :)
California Iced Tea: Calls for Amaretto in place of tequila and triple sec and topped with equal parts cranberry and pineapple juices.
Hawaiian Iced Tea: Shuns tequila and triple sec in favor of a full ounce of Chambord, and is topped with Sprite instead of Coca-Cola.
Miami Iced Tea: Reflecting the tropical setting of its name, this fruitier tea shuns triple sec and tequila in favor of Midori and peach schnapps, and is topped with orange juice instead of Coca-Cola.
Caribbean Iced Tea: This recipe utilizes a full ounce of dark jamaican rum, usually Myer’s, in place of tequila and vodka. Like the Long Island, it is topped with Coca-Cola.
Super Special LIT: Apart from the usual Gin, Vodka, Rum, Tequila, triple sec etc, it also includes a shot of Whiskey. The triple sec can also be substituted with peach schnapps.
Georgia Iced Tea: This drink calls for some sweet tea in place of Coke, which is ironic since Coca Cola is headquartered in Atlanta.
