    Long Island Iced Tea

    Robert “Rosebud” Butt is the personality who appears to have invented the Long Island Iced Tea as an entry in a contest to create a new mixed drink with triple sec in 1972 while he worked at the Oak Beach Inn on Long Island, New York.
    .
    Variation to the Long Island is the Purple Rain, which uses the same mix as a Long Island but the Triple Sec is replaced with a shot of raspberry liqueur and the cola replaced with lemonade.

    Smoky Paloma

    This afternoon I flew to a friend’s home & as the evening came closer, I was introduced to his bar stocked well with awesome array of spirits & liqueurs. Before he could ask me to mix a good one my eyes ran through the 100% blue agave Tequila & the Smoky Double Black JW Whisky. I said let’s give a shot to make a Smoky Paloma.
    .
    Ingredients

    A 100% blue agave tequila reserva 1800 Reposado – 45 ml
    A Smoky Scotch Whisky – Double Black JW – 30 ml
    A  liqueur – Desmondji Orange Liqueur – 20 ml
    A fresh lemon  juice – 20 ml

    Smoky Paloma

    Preparation Method

    Shake all with cracked ice. Strain it over ice in a rock glass & garnish with lemon wedge🥃
    .Tequila is such a good spirit that it will be interesting to have a quick walk-through
    .
    Two types of Tequila : 100% Blue Agave, and Tequila Mixto (Mixed). .
    Mixto Tequila contains a minimum of 51% Blue Agave, and the remaining 49% from other sugars (typically cane sugars)
    .
    Tequila Silver – Blanco – Plata – White – Platinum : This is the Blue Agave spirit in its purest form. It is clear and typically un-aged.
    .
    Tequila Gold : Gold Tequila is typically a Mixto, where colorants and flavorings have been added prior to bottling.
    .
    Tequila Reposado: A Reposado Tequila is the first stage of “rested and aged”. The Tequila is aged in wood barrels or storage tanks between 2 months and 11 months.
    . 
    Tequila Añejo (extra aged): After aging for at least one year, Tequila can then be classified as an “Añejo”.
    .
    Tequila Extra Añejo (ultra aged): A new classification added in the summer of 2006, labeling any Tequila aged more than 3 years, an “Extra Añejo.
    .
    Cheers!
