Election Twist on a Long Island Iced Tea Cocktail

Election Twist on a Long Island Iced Tea

The 2010 election fever certainly needs a little ice to cool it off and our Election Twist cocktail might be just the long drink needed to keep us up late and survive a long night of vote counting!  Our Election Twist is a Demijohn variation of the seductively sweet classic Long Island Iced Tea cocktail and has been invented by one of our Glasgow team members, Carlos Wheeler.  It was first drunk by a group of guests taking part in one of our organised tasting evenings in Glasgow.  Their enthusiastic noises of approval have now written it into the official Demijohn Cocktail Book!

Ingredients:
1 measure Seville Orange Gin 26%
1 measure Lemon Vodka Liqueur 22.5% or Grapefruit Vodka Liqueur 20%
1/2 measure Nelson's Spiced Rum Liqueur 20%
1/2 measure lemon juice

Preparation:
Describing the preparation of this drink reads like a manifesto.  Making our Election Twist is an undemanding labour of love!  Start with equal measures of our marmalady  Seville Orange Gin 26% and our Lemon Vodka Liqueur 24%.  Add a conservative measure of Nelson's Spiced Rum and a splash of fresh squeezed lemon to give a twist of independence and a subtly green feel.  Shake and strain into an ice filled Colins (long) or Rocks (short) glass and top up with a liberal dose of full fat Coca Cola.  If you are a monster raving looney and want to make it a classic Long Island Iced Tea, add a half measure of gold Tequila and teaspoon full of egg white.  Election night will never be the same again!
