Continuing the fruit theme, our second cocktail this evening is the Cherry Long Island Iced Tea which is a variation of the classic Long Island Iced Tea.
Unlike the more varied variants such as the Miami, Tokyo or Electric iced teas, this cherry one is much closer to the original with some tweaks of removing the simple syrup and replacing some of the lemon juice with lime juice. Plus the addition of muddled cherries to impart the cherry flavour; we used some sweet dark cherries.
