Top Shelf Long Island Iced Tea
When I tried the Top Shelf Long Island Iced Tea, I knew it would be a strong drink, and it was. It came in a tall glass with ice and a slice of lemon. It looked just as bold as it tasted.
The first sip was full of flavor: cold, crisp, and smooth. Even though it has vodka, rum, gin, and tequila, it didn’t taste too strong or harsh. The mix of citrus and cola gave it a nice sweet and tangy taste.
Even with all the different liquors, it was easy to drink. It wasn’t too sweet or too sour, just the right mix. If you want a drink that’s strong but still smooth and tasty, this one is a great choice.
