** and, finally, a tip: if you forget which spirits go into the drink, just remember: it's pretty much your basic clear liquors. Triple Sec is probably the most important, in terms of flavor.

Yummmm....

I would suggest using light rum over dark rum so it doses not over power the drink. Also using slightly less tequila for the same reason unless high quality. Also a better alternative for triple sec would be Cointreau over brandy. And as well using a lot less cola(about 100ml) in the drink and adding a small amount of gome (sugar melted in boiling water) if you find the drink to sour.

I disagree with you. You're making a totally new drink and don't forget that you cannot change the recipe without changing cocktail's name. So it's very simple: if you don't like it - don't drink it!

#1 - It is call "Iced Tea" because it tastes like iced tea. There is nothing to do with prohibition. #2 - This drink is is more of a Rum and Coke than a Long Island. If you were to reverse the amounts of Coke and booze, that is a true recipe. 3/4 Liquor, 1/4 Cola. It is a shame this video was made and I hope that no one makes this drink and tells someone they made Long Islands...

...and another thing, don't ever think that if you go to a bar and ask for a Long Island that you are going to be served 3/4's of a glass of cola. You won't. You will get a glass nearly full of booze in a recipe designed to hide the taste. So be careful. Oh, and not all bars make them well. So try a few different spots until you find one that you like. And never let a bartender make a long island from a pre-mixed solution. Unless you see at least 5 types of booze go into the glass, you are getting something other than the drink you ordered. DO NOT BE AFRAID TO SEND IT BACK. Most self-respecting bar tenders understand.

If you add Midori instead of Coke you get a much more potent yet sweet, very delicious drink called a TOKYO TEA :) or a Radioactive L.I.I.T... try it ...its pretty sexy ;)

Here in the US, at least, a LIIT usually has just a couple of splashes of coke at the end to give it a tea-like color. I've never had one with as much coke as this recipe recommends. Not criticizing, though. I'm all for trying new things!

Go with Cointreau instead of Triple Sec, if you have Cointreau handy.
