A Top Shelf LIIT is retarded. Don't ever make and especially ever order one
(they're damned expensive). The thing with a long island ice tea is that
there is so many ingredients that they end tasting the same no matter what
brand of liquor goes in them. And besides, the reason for using top shelf
ingredients is so you can enjoy the taste of the alcohol more (at least where
I come from), so it doesnt make much sense to make a drink that combines 5
different liquors. In most cases, the reason for drinking an LIIT is to get
drunk quickly so if you can tastes a difference between a regular and top
shelf LIIT, it aint gonna matter after you've had the first one anyway. Stick
to the bottom shelf version. The top shelf is for posers.
