So this is the kind of video that folks who are home bartenders and "mixologist" enjoy. Some of us aren't just looking for a recipe. Sometimes, a video like this serves as inspiration. Literally today, I made a Mineola Sherbert that I acid adjusted (I used citric and tartaric acid). Keep the long form videos.
Since I never really liked rhum and rarely have a bottle on hand, I once decided to make a Long Island with peach liqueur instead of rhum and it was a game changer for me and my guests. Adding angostura bitters and a spiced citrus syrup also sound like a great idea that I'll try next time.
As far as I know the original LIIT recipe is with white rum, which tastes really different from brown rum. I tried it with brown rum once when I was out of white, but definitely other prefer white!
Long island ice tea and its variations are my fav. Will be trying this. Best one I've ever had Is a long island Peach ice tea, with peach gin and archers instead of triple sec
Great content, Steve! Had an 80s revival cocktail challenge this summer where we similarly updated (awful) 80s standards into something a bit more refined - like an updated Blue Lagoon. Didn't think the Long Island was salvageable, so will have to try this!
Hey Steve... I'm a bartender from India and I absolutely love your videos. I just started my career as a bartender recently and I'd love to know if different shaking methods affect the quality or taste of the drink?
I found one I thought you would like when we were on a cruise last week. Dublin Ice Tea (my wife got at the English Pub on board. • Bacardi superior rum • Jameson Irish Whiskey • Hennessy Cognac • port wine • Guinness Draught Stout I'm not 100% of the mixture but was told 2oz of everything except Guinness and they used 8oz of that.
Back in the day when I poured, I was taught to make it with the 5 clears (well). Vodka, Rum, Triple Sec, Gin, Tequila, Sour mix and topped with cola, typically Coke in the U.S.
Recipe looks incredible. Definitely going to try it soon. Maybe stupid question, for the syrup, what are the conversions of the sugar, water? Also, could I just peel both the lemon and lime in the recipe? Keep up the amazing work.
Hey Steve I really appreciate all your videos! I did want to say though that this format for the recipe is a little hard to read. Cant wait to get back into making drinks Ive been on a 9 month "break" lol
Happily making these and after a couple forgot to put the coke in ... very bad mistake, remember the coke folks, I know you don't have it in Oz or US but Curiosity cola is so much better than Fevertree 👍
Hey, love your videos, but for a few month now your sound is kinda weird for me. Sounds too muffled or something. Are you using software to reduce the backround noises?
@@StevetheBartender_ hi Steve the audio is not in sync with the video, the audio is a bit behind. Also the suppression of the background sounds makes it feels somewhat disconnected. It feels more “authentic” or “live” to me when you hear the sounds of what you’re doing.
@@StevetheBartender_ Maybe a bit less is more in this case? especially around 1:27 your voice sounds like with a tiktok filter. And your voice used to be more vibrant, which i really liked:)
I wonder if the citrus syrup would work in an Old Fashioned. You usually garnish with an orange or lemon peel anyway... Maybe it would be too much citrus though.
Not sure about whiskey based old fashioneds, but I think it'd make a banger of a rum old fashioned. I'm picturing it reading like a more amped up and spirit forward corn and oil.
Why do American restaurants that serve adult beverages always leave out the tequila? I have to ask for it every time. And sometimes they only bring me a shot of tequila on the side. And of course, that's an extra $8. Long Island tea has ALWAYS contained 5 liquors. And it should be served in a "TALL" glass.
@@irashidov simple = easy to make. I would deem it as hard if it had 15 steps to make it and it required inaccessible or expensive equipment. The steps required for the syrup is essentially "make a syrup and measure several ingredients".

Between this and another video, I am loving how the Long Island Iced Tea can be turned into a classy drink.
I really like this format with the little recipe on the left corner.
Great video, liked !
Awesome, thank you!

2 things : First, I need to get some of those dashers. Second, I now want to try a taste off between the classic and the better! Thanks for the vid!
The dashers are only a recent addition but they’re excellent! These are the ones: bit.ly/abarabove-bitters
@@StevetheBartender_ thanks man! ordering up!
Definitely refined. I was first taught this drink as: everything white in the well, sours, and coke.
Yesssss we got the amazing smile back 🥳

Switch out the cointreau to blue curacao and the coke to sprite/7up and you get an Alaskan Iced Tea
That just sounds like an AMF
@@daxon379 You're right! AIT is more word friendly though than AMF 😀

Man that sounds absolutely delicious!! Gotta try this bad boy!! Yum 😍😍
Well that definitely sounds tasty AF and will be trying this out! Many thanks for all you do and Cheers!

My friend, where did you get those syrup bottles from?
@antlerman7644 You can find the bottles here: bit.ly/crew-supply-bottle
Well now you have to do a lemon, lime and bitters short. ;)
3:21 NICE! that what I'm talking about
Great job!!!!. ❤
Will make when called for in Dallas, TX!!!!
Really enjoyed this type of video. Definitely would be interested in an "Improve Cocktail" series!
It looks like people enjoyed this one 👌

Ordered your book, it’s arriving today. 🎉
Thanks Ronald! Hope you love it 🙏
Absolutely, love it 😍

Only one man on Earth can improve the long Island iced tea...Steve the Man!! 🥃
Lol, thank you but this was create by a bartender named Nick Bennett :)
Steve that looks amazingly tasty will have to try make it
Still like a lemon, lime & bitters, so keen to try!
Whoa! Gotta give this a try! Any ideas on when updates the app are coming? 🤔
Android? Soon. iOS? Later.
Behold, the elevated train wreck that is an improved long island. I can't wait to try! 😂
when i was a kid i thought a long island ice tea was boozie tea as an adult it is boozie boozie haha great looking syrup need to make that syrup

Thanks for the feedback Rebecca 🙏
Welcome ❤❤
Mine spicy citrus syrup is lighter not so brown as yours, did I something wrong?

My editor, Simonas, has been using Adobe AI for background reduction.

Yeah, it sounds more like a podcast than it does a video.

I want that drink… 😂 NOW

It would be worth a try! Keep in mind that it does have citrus peel, juice and acid added.. so it’s a bit tart.

@StevetheBartender - where do you get those syrup bottles?
You can find the bottles here: bit.ly/crew-supply-bottle
Would cutting back on the bitters be a good idea, 4 dashes seems a lot.
You can if you like 👍
Can you do the "David martinez" by cyberpunk 2077 ?
2:50 so is it 15 ml or 22.5 ml?
Dang, mistake.. it’s 15ml.
Where can we get that bottle
You can find the bottles here: bit.ly/crew-supply-bottle
Where do I find the bottle of the syrup?
You can make it, the recipe is in the description
@@StevetheBartender_I think he might mean the bottle you had the syrup in. If not I'm interested in that info.
But I now see you've answered that in comments before. Great video and look forward to trying it.

Drink at Long Island, and you wake up at Rhode Island kind of 'iced tea'
How do I get the syrup bottle?

@@gustaffyrkemo5822 you’ll have to check with Crew Supply Co 👍
I always thought LIIT is lazy confused concoction designed to satisfy hard core alcoholics but your version makes it legit cocktail

Rumors says that if Steve the Bartender doesn't smile while shaking, cocktail will not as good as it should be...

Third time lucky 😊
Some might call that citrus syrup a cordial.
Yep! You could call it a cordial :)
Great video but the sound is weird, you probably use AI to enhance but I doesn't sound natural and makes the video hard to watch :)
At this point why not use Limoncello😂
It’s very different to lemoncello..
Not simple if it has more than 3 ingredients.
What did I say was simple..?
