A delicious recipe for Long Beach Ice Tea, with triple sec, rum, vodka, gin, cranberry juice, 7-Up ® soda and ice cubes.

1 oz triple sec

1 splash 7-Up ® soda
ice cubes

Garnish with fresh lime cuts.

This drink is most often served in a Collins Glass

• My sister turned that sweet 16 yesterday. It sure wasn't a super sweet 16 like on MTV, but we'll just say it was sweet. Dang...I remember those young adolescent years. LoL. Let me stop talking like I'm 40. I was 16 only 5 years ago. Let us take another stroll down memory lane and see what happened 5 years ago......

...2004...

• George W. Bush is reelected president, defeats John Kerry (Nov. 2).

• Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake created an enormous scandal when Timberlake ripped the bodice of Jackson's costume during the halftime show of February's Super Bowl XXXVIII, exposing her right breast, which was pierced and adorned with a brooch.
