Wanted: Rum Island Iced Tea recipe

GeoRock - 5-18-2009 at 03:40 PM

Anyone have a recipe for Rum Island Iced Tea?
Bacardi sells it, but it is a bit too sweet. I like it when it tastes like a non-alcoholic ice tea.

Does This Recipe Help?

Caribbean Iced Tea

* 4 cups water
* 4 lipton cup size tea bags
* 1 cup pineapple juice, chilled
* 1/2 cup cream of coconut
* 1 cup ice cube (about 6 to 8)
* pineapple, wedge
* mint

I can do basic Long Islanders. Hundreds of variations out there. It takes all three liquors and the mixes to come out with something that tastes like iced tea.

Fill a glass with ice; add one ounce each vodka, tequila and rum. Add sweet and sour to almost fill the glass and then top-off with a splash of coca-cola. Tastes just likes iced tea.

If the sweet and sour is too sweet- you can use homemade lemonade and adjust for sweetness. With three shots of liquor- after a few of these almost anything is close enough.

I interpreted the post as asking for a non-alcohol included recipe.

Not that I would ever consider drinking that.

Just add rum.

Cheers! GJ

Hey DK-
I never thought about that, but you're right! That just solved my entertaining dilemas when inviting vegan/vegetarian friends over for dinner. Just get them drunk, and it won't matter how that tofu casserole tastes! :biggrin:

Thanks, man!

sorry noproblemo2,
I'll look in my books to see what I can find.

Don't want to get too far off-topic, especially where RUM is concerned!

I noticed that center stage was taken up by some Grendain Almendrado.
My wife is an alcoholic now because of that stuff. She stated drinking in when it was $1.75 U.S. a bottle in San Felipe. Now it's about $7.00 a bottle U.S. (the 1.75 l. bottle is $11.00 now.)

Thank God that

I am a techno idiot.

Bad - can't figure out how to post pictures of Great Danes in Baja (still working on that).

Good - I can't post embarrassing pictures of myself in full party mode.

My children and theirs will probably light candles to keep it that way.

I remember my foster dad had a recipe for Long Island Ice Tea that required 7 ingredients. A bartender gave it to him. It produced the most perfect 'ice tea' tasting alcohol version I've ever had in life. We all shared it during a 3-day July 4th pool, BBQ, Slumber, make-a-homemade-western-movie with an award ceremony, egg-tossing, water balloon tossing, raft and tube racing, water-sliding, keg-drinking, FUN party we had when we lived in Agua Dulce, CA. Actually had 3 years of these parties before we moved.
But that tea was a huge hit. Unfortunately, Dad can't remember the recipe anymore.

So, anyone out there know what it could have been?

I am gonna try the suggestion given here with 5 ingredients.

Oh, I do remember Coca-Cola was one ingredient.

Here's one with seven ingredients:
