Long Island Iced Tea with rum is a timeless classic. It's been popular since the 1920s. With a hint sweet and funky, this cocktail is the perfect place to explore boozy Iced Tea.
2. Green Tea Gimlet - Vodka, Lime Juice and Green Tea
You can easily make this recipe by using simple ingredients such as vodka or gin that has been infused with green tee. Or you can be a bit more creative by infusing your own booze to add a layer of flavor.

5. Elderflower Gimlet Made with Vodka and Lime Juice
This beautiful drink can be made with elderflower if you like the floral taste. Unlike most alcoholic tea drinks, this gimlet has no bitters or syrups to interfere with the delicate flavors of your iced tea.
6. Gin and Herbal Tea
Herbal Tea is another wonderful way to enhance your tea drink. Herbal teas can add depth and complexity to any beverage.
7. Green Tea Gimlet With Vodka
To incorporate tea into an alcoholic cocktail, you can infuse it with a botanical liquor like gin or herbal liqueur. Addition of tea to your cocktail is a great and fun way to spice things up. It's also a good way to incorporate seasonal, fresh ingredients.

If you want an alcohol drink but don't have the mixers to make it, then this cocktail made with bourbon would be perfect for you. This cocktail is incredibly refreshing, thanks to the hint of lemon and ginger.
9. Strawberry and Mint iced Tea with Vodka
This delicious drink will be a hit if strawberries are your favourite summer fruit. This recipe is surprisingly simple and blends bitter tea, bourbon, and mint to create a refreshing drink.
The recipe also uses simple sugar syrup instead of granulated to sweeten it. This allows for the bourbon blend to better with the sweeten tea. It also reduces the amount sugar that you need to add to get a good flavor balance.

How To
How to make Manhattan Cocktails that are truly exceptional
A Manhattan is one the most iconic cocktails in the entire world. It was first described by Harry Craddock in his book "The Savoy Bar Book", published in 1930. You will find equal amounts of sweet and dry vermouths, gin, and whiskey in this cocktail. Some people add bitters, orange juice, maraschino cherry, or even Angostura Bitters. The Manhattan recipe is available in many variations, including the Old Fashioned.
Manhattan is a classic cocktail, made with four ingredients. It is served straight up in chilled glasses. The original recipe dates back to 1921, when it was known as the Four Deuces. It contained two measures each of whisky and rye, along with two measures each of gin. The original recipe is still loved by bartenders, drinkers, and even chefs.
Some people prefer to use bourbon instead of rye, while others prefer to use brandy. Both can be equally effective. When preparing a Manhattan, use equal parts of each ingredient. Two shots of rye will be used, along with two shots sweet vermouth, four shots dry vermouth, eight shots of bittersweet vermouth and eight shots gin. Mix all ingredients together and leave to sit for 15 minutes. Strain the mixture and serve. Add a maraschino or lemon twist to garnish.
