Long Island Iced Tea

Expect strong, citrus and refreshing. What follows is a lean, light body with a moderate in strength centre. Compared with French 76, it leans toward a different balance. Its finish keeps the vodka base in view, even when the opening flavours feel more immediate. The index points toward Burgers or Fried food at the table; French 76 is the nearest place to continue exploring.
