Iced Tea, Beverly Hills Style
Here is a drink to try this weekend. I discovered it on the Crown Princess a few years back. We were on a sailing where we were trying to save money. However, not drinking isn’t usually an option so we were trying to find the most potent drink out there. Normally, I would go for the long island iced tea, since those are loaded with liquor but when I was scanning the menu I noticed something called a Beverly Hills Iced Tea. I had never heard of it, much less had one before so I decided to give it a try. While this drink definitely isn’t for the faint of heart, it met my requirements. The Beverly Hills Iced Tea was loaded with booze and was also they same price as the other drinks so I gave it a shot. My first impression was “whoa thats what I call a stiff drink”, but after a couple of more it grew on me. By the end of the cruise it moved pretty high on my list of favorite drinks. I have not yet made one at home but I recently ran across the recipe on the internet and figure I will give it a shot at home. The results will either conjure up memories of my all time favorite cruise or I’ll have a recipe for homemade paint thinner. If you want to give it a shot here is the recipe I found.
Beverly Hills Iced Tea
10 ½ oz Glass
½ oz Cointreau
½ oz Bombay Sapphire Gin
½ oz Bacardi White Rum
½ oz Grey Goose Vodka
½ oz Cuervo Tequila
A couple of splashes of Sparkling Wine

This was my favourite drink also on a recent Princess cruise. I got the bar staff to add extra ice and blend it to make kind of like a slupee. This drink I created, I called a “Frozen Rodeo Drive”. Blue Curaco was added to give a blue frozen look.
