WGT: Long Island Iced Tea...




Few things are more refreshing than iced tea on a hot summer's day. Just ask any white girl and she will tell you that when the temperature reaches above 80, it's the the first thing she reaches for, whether it's a Teak's (if you're from the South), Honestea (if you're a vegan), or Diet Snapple (if you're...wait no one drinks Snapple anymore ever since the fired that sassy lady who was in all the commercials). Similarly, few things bring more joy, laughter, and general enjoyment into the world than hard alcohol.


So combining the two should bring white girls and people everywhere joy right? Wrong. The truth is many a white girl tragedy starts (and ends) with one of these harmless little cocktails, the desire to dance one's white girl ass off, and the general belief that one will go home alone at a reasonable hour. But the Long Island has something else in store for you. Best case scenario: you dance on a table and wake up with a killer hangover and no knowledge of where your cell phone is. Worst case (and more likely) scenario: you dance on a table, a mysterious stranger tells you you have nice eyes, offers to walk you home, and you wake up the next morning next to said mysterious stranger who turns out to be not so pretty (think: male butterface in the harsh light of sunday morning) ,sans cellphone, and with an even worse hangover, that of regret. So next time you think sloshing down one of these delicious suckers can only lead to good things, think again. Or, if you're still not dissuaded, create your own white girl tragedy by making one:






Ingredients:

  • 1/2 oz triple sec
  • 1/2 oz light rum
  • 1/2 oz gin
  • 1/2 oz vodka
  • 1/2 oz tequila
  • 1 oz sour mix
  • cola
  • lemon wedge for garnish


Preparation:

  1. Pour the spirits and sour mix into a collins glass with ice.
  2. Stir well or shake.
  3. Top the glass off with cola.
  4. Garnish with the lemon wedge.
