We’re on the final lap of our Iced Tea drinks series, so I’m going International. Let’s start with the Jamaican Iced Tea drink. This one seems really similar to the Long Beach Iced Tea we saw yesterday, but with two very big differences. First, instead of light rum, this drink recipe calls for Myer’s brand dark rum, which instantly makes this a sweeter yet smoother beverage. We’re also going to go ahead and replace the cranberry juice with pineapple juice, for a much more tropical flavor. Jamaican Iced Tea is a really sweet, fun beverage; great for any summer event you’re throwing, or just any party with an “Island” theme to it.

Jamaican Iced Tea - Recipe:

1 part vodka
1 part gin
1 part Myer’s® dark rum
1 part triple sec
2 parts pineapple juice
2 parts sweet and sour mix

Fill a mixing cup (or your martini shaker) with ice, and add the vodka, gin, triple sec, and Myer’s. Balance with pineapple juice and sweet and sour mix, pouring in both at the same time (typically only bartenders pour like this, so this move will really impress your guests!). Shake, then pour into a pint, highball or collins glass. This drink uses a flag garnish: to make a flag, spear a pineapple down the middle with a toothpick. Stick a maraschino cherry on the top end of the toothpick, then hang your flag off the side of the glass (also a very impressive touch.)
