Subject: "The Madera Recipe"

I just posted a reply to the question about Long Island recipe's and it has 
inspired me to share what has become somewhat of a family tradition. For my 
grandmother's birthday we took a little limo ride about 45 minutes noth of my 
hometown, to a city called Madera. My father (who actually does not drink) 
found a recipe somewhere for a Long Island ice tea and decieded to make it in 
bulk. He used the following recipe:
NOTE: measures can be oz., cup, pint, quart, etc. depending on quantity
desired.
1 measure of gin
1 measure of light rum
1 measure of vodka
1 measure of tequila (optional...some don't care for the taste)
1/2 measure of triple sec
2 measures of sweet & sour
1/2 measure of Coke (No Pepsi...Coke!)
I think he make a gallon and a half or something like that and put it in a 
"pumper pot"-- you know, those insulated beverage dispensers that stand about 
two feet high and have a large button on top you push down on and it pumps 
some of the beverage out into a cup.... not sure to the brand name or what you 
really call this thing but it works GREAT for taking with you to tailgates, 
etc and dispensing a punch/cocktail. Anyhow, my family now calls this the 
"Madera Recipe" because by the time we made it to Madera we were all feelin' 
good!
For those who ask for a good punch/drink in quantity to get you ripped, if 
you like the long island then just make it in a large quantity and serve it as 
a punch.... you might wait to add the soda until last minute because it is 
carbonated and also be sure to give it a good stir every once and a while. 
Cheers.
