Tricks for layering soft drinks and spirits
Sophistication is an integral part of cocktail mixology. To layer your Long Island Iced Tea,
carefully pour cola on the curved top of a tablespoon. This will allow your mixer to sit on top of the shaken spirits, sugar syrups, and tangy lemon.
The fun doesn’t stop there. You can also turn a long bar spoon upside down and rest the flat bottom on top of your shaken spirits, sugar syrups, and tangy lemon mixture. Carefully pour your cola down the spiralled stem, raising the bottom as your glass slowly fills. This is a great way to layer with more flair.
