Until the next time, of course.Īfter that experience, the only name that seems fitting is Penitent Punch.The story behind the origin of the Long Island Cocktail is one of many variations almost as many as the number of ingredients combined to make it. Repenting of my sins and swearing to never do that again. After drinking three Humble Teas, I was quite penitent the next morning. He kneels and rolls forward avoiding the blades and onto then proceeds to the next challenge. The challenger will feel a wind (the Breath) blow through the chamber moving the spider webs, and then have to kneel quickly in order to avoid being decapitated by two huge circular blades. The object of the first challenge is to kneel before the Breath of God. The first one is called The Breath of God with the clue stating “Only the penitent man will pass.”
LONG ISLAND DRINK HOW TO
Here is how I arrived at this name.īeing an Indiana Jones fan I know most of the movies by heart, including the obstacle course/giant riddle that is the path to the Holy Grail in the movie Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.įor all the non-Indiana Jones fans, once Indy gets to the Temple of the Sun to find the Holy Grail he has to complete three challenges which are physical tasks he has to finish but the clues on how to finish them are riddles. I had a hard time coming up with a new name for this hard-core cocktail at first but then remembered a quote from a movie and it the name popped into my head. Their recipe uses a pinot noir but for my Penitent Punch I fruited it up even more by using a red sangria.You will want to stir the drink to combine all the flavors but it sure is pretty to look at like this!.
Slowly pour the wine on the top of the cocktail with the help of a spoon to make a gorgeous layered or ombre effect.Pour it over ice in a tall glass leaving some room at the top for the wine.After you mix the spirits together, yes all 5 of them, you add the sour mix and combine.This is not a cocktail for everyone but I encourage you to try one. I’m not a huge bourbon fan but I know other people are so I try not to judge.įor more insider tips & tricks, and a candid behind the scenes look follow me on social media! Check use out on Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram, & Twitter (yes, people still use Twitter, LOL!) TAPAS TIPS & TRICKS That depends on what cocktails you normally consume. The Penitent Punch contains sour mix so it has a sweet and tart flavor and the red wine adds a fruitiness. Yes, it will! Just as the restaurant where I discovered it mentioned, there is a 3 drink maximum. There are 5 liquors in it. Please enjoy responsibly! DOES ALL THAT ALCOHOL ACTUALLY TASTE GOOD? I had to ask what was in the Humble Tea before we left so I could share this drink with all my friends. A mistake not to be repeated that trip I assure you, but we did go back to the pizza place again. Two liters of water and a sleeve of Saltine crackers later, I finally had my wits about me. This was a humungous mistake because I don’t remember much after we got back to the room and my screaming headache didn’t help as I sat on my knees in the bathroom praying to the Porcelain God the next morning. Since we were walking back to the hotel I had one more or the road. The tart and fruity flavors of the Humble Tea remind me of a raspberry lemonade but the sheer amount of alcohol in it catches up to you in no time. PER DAY!Īs I approached the bottom of my second one it became apparent why you can only have three.
LONG ISLAND DRINK VERIFICATION
Upon verification by our server, while I was sucking my first one down through a straw, there is a 3 drink maximum. Surely a typo but that didn’t stop me from ordering one. Normally there is a minimum listed but this is the first time I had seen a MAXIMUM. I should have known better when the cocktail menu stated a “3 Drink Maximum” under the name. The pizza joint where I tried the cocktail called it a Humble Tea and boy, did it ever humble me. Maybe they were trying to use up the last remaining sips from a bunch of different bottles? LONG ISLAND ICED TEA INGREDIENTS Not sure why someone decided to put all these together but I am pretty glad they did. WHOA! No wonder I can’t have more than two, LOL! WHAT ALCOHOL IS IN LONG ISLAND ICED TEA?īeing 80% alcohol, this cocktail is pretty complex. This strong mixed drink is actually 80% alcohol and 20% mixer. Challenge accepted, challenge won! HOW MUCH ALCOHOL IS IN A LONG ISLAND ICED TEA? More on that later… WHY DO THEY CALL IT LONG ISLAND ICED TEA?Īs the story goes, a bartender from Long Island was challenged to make a strong cocktail that looked like iced tea. I have never had one before as I was never brave enough to try it until last summer, albeit under the guise of another name. A Long Island drink is 5 Spirits, a touch of lemon juice, and a topping of cola to give it the “tea” coloring.
