The origin of the Long Island Iced Tea:
Robert “Rosebud” Butt claims to have invented the drink in 1972 as a contest entry to create a new mixed drink cocktail using Triple Sec while working at the Oak Beach Inn in Long Island, New York.

A different drink is claimed to have been invented during Prohibition in the 1920s by “Old Man Bishop” and his son Ransom Bishop in a local community named Long Island in Kingsport, Tennessee. Their drink included whiskey and maple syrup, and varied the quantities of the five liquors.

Navy Grog

• 2 tablespoons dark Jamaican rum

• 1 tablespoon white grapefruit juice
• 1 tablespoon ginger-honey syrup or simple syrup

NOTE: Rumor has it that when the Navy Grog was first served in Hollywood, Frank Sinatra claimed it as his favorite drink. Chances are, Frank would’ve liked it even more on the beach. Traditionally made with three types of rum, the Grog is no small drink—but sipping it through a frozen snow cone makes it a little more fun.

“Beer Drinking Mama” by The Light Crust Doughboys:

The Light Crust Doughboys was an American Western swing band from Texas organized in 1931 by the Burrus Mill and Elevator Company in Saginaw, Texas. The band achieved its peak popularity in the early 1940s, the years leading up to World War II. In addition to launching Western swing pioneers Bob Wills and Milton Brown, many of the best musicians of the day played with the band, including Tommy Duncan, Cecil Brower, John “Knocky” Parker and Kenneth Pitts. The original group disbanded in 1942.

Wine, Bread & Butter

Sangria Option #1
1 (750-ml) bottle red wine (like a blend)
1/2 cup brandy to taste (you may want 1 c)
1/4 cup Grand Marnier
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 orange, thinly sliced
1/2 lemon, thinly sliced
1 (750-ml) bottle of something sparkling. The original recipe called for sparkling water like S. Pellegrino, but we thought that tasted too watered down. We tried it with a couple of bottles of Blenheim Ginger Ale (that spicy kind here in SC) and we thought that was the perfect touch. But if everyone is looking to get just a little tipsier just a little quicker, using a bottle of cheap sparkling wine here also adds a very nice touch! I recommend Lamarca Prosecco, it’s tasty and $14.99 at my Walmart.
Instructions:
Combine everything but the sparkling in a large plastic container or glass pitchers. Feel free to muddle that fruit up a little bit or add another tablespoon of a preferred juice of your choice. Cover and chill completely, at least 2 hours. When ready to serve, add the sparkling whatever (if using sparkling water, start with 2 cups and add more to taste if desired).

Sangria Option #2
Get an empty milk or water jug (1 gallon)
Slice 1 large Lemon, 1 large Lime, and 1 Large Orange and place half of each in jug
Put 1 Cinnamon stick in jug
Pour 1 cup of Brandy in jug
Let it sit opened at room temperature for at least 1 hour (2 or 3 is better)
Pour 1 Bottle (750 ML) of Merlot Wine into Jug
Let sit opened at room temperature for at least 1 hour (again, a little longer is better)
Pour 5 cups of 100% Orange Juice into jug
Refrigerate to cool
When ready to serve, pour 4 cups of cold Fresca or Squirt Soda into jug.
Close lids tightly, shake lightly to mix ingredients.
Serve over ice.

First, a very important message for all my Friends:
PLEASE DRINK RESPONSIBLY!
GET HOME ALIVE, DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE!
“KNOW WHEN TO SAY WHEN!”
“FRIENDS DON’T LET FRIENDS DRIVE DRUNK!”
