Ingredients
Scale
- 15 ml White Rum
- 15 ml Tequila
- 15 ml Gin
- 15 ml Vodka
- 15 ml Triple Sec
- 30 ml Fresh Lemon Juice
- Cola, to top up
- Ice cubes, as needed

Instructions
- Place a highball glass in the refrigerator for a few minutes or fill with ice water to pre-chill — this helps balance the strong spirits.
- Fill the chilled glass completely with ice cubes. Pour in white rum, tequila, gin, vodka, triple sec, and fresh lemon juice.
- Top up with cola slowly to avoid losing bubbles and achieve that classic iced-tea color.
- Stir for 10–15 seconds to mix evenly without diluting too much.
- Garnish beautifully (optional): Add a lemon slice or lime wedge for a bright citrus aroma. For a touch of flair, rim the glass with a bit of sugar or salt.
- Enjoy chilled — sweet, sour, strong, and perfectly balanced with a refreshing cola finish.
- Optional tip: Swap lemon juice for lime for a sharper edge, or add a splash of simple syrup if you prefer a smoother profile.
