- Hi team, welcome back to The Cocktail Vlog.
I'm Steve the Bartender, and today,
I'm showing you how to make a Tokyo Tea.
I've made a Long Island Ice Tea, link up here.
I've made a AMF recently.
So, while I'm on the theme of things,
I'm gonna make another variation on the Long Island Ice Tea.
This is a Japanese variation, hence the name Tokyo Tea,
with the simple substitution of changing out
the Midori Melon Liqueur, in place of Triple Sec.
So there are some recipes that call for the Midori
to replace the tequila, or replace the rum.
But I'm choosing to use the Midori
to replace the sugar component of the Triple Sec.
It kinda makes more sense to me.
So, I'm going with the same recipe
as the Long Island Ice Tea,
doing equal parts across the board.
22.5 ml, three-quarter ounce.
So start off with your vodka, add that straight in.
And if you didn't watch the AMF, the Adios Mother (mumbles),
I wasn't that pleasantly surprised
with that particular cocktail.
Gin, equal part.
So, to be honest, my hopes aren't too high
for this variation as well.
But I'll let you know at the end of the video.
22.5 ml, three-quarter ounce of your rum.
And last of all, your blanco tequila.
Last of all?
Not quite.
It's so bad that I'm just eager to end it.
And then your Midori, your melon liqueur.
22.5, one ounce.
Now the difference with this one,
22.5, three-quarter ounce.
One ounce?
Sorry.
I've had a few drinks before hand, a few Long Island's,
so forgive me.
This one here, I think there's gonna be enough sugar content
from the Midori,
even though I'm just subbing that for the Triple Sec.
So this is a sour mix, doesn't have sugar in it.
This is just straight lime juice.
I feel lime juice works really well with the Midori.
As you can see by the Midori Sour,
three ingredient cocktail recipe,
that I will link to right here.
Make sure you check this out,
'cause this Midori Sour recipe is bang on.
So 22.5 ml, three-quarter ounce.
The fresh lime and Midori go really well together.
So add ice to your cocktail shaker
and shake it for 12 to 15 seconds,
and then straight over fresh ice.
(slushing)
(rattling)
It's green.
Very green.
My second camera battery is flat,
so there's a few extra jump cuts.
Straight over that fresh ice.
Whoa.
Add a dash of lemon lime soda, lemonade, sprite.
And garnish with a slice of lemon.
(rhythmic music)
Simple as that.
There you have the Tokyo Tea.
Cheers.
(rhythmic music)
This one definitely disguises the alcohol.
Probably could actually do with the sour mix.
That little touch of simple syrup in there as well.
I've been really bad at explaining the Long Island Ice Tea,
the AMF and this one,
because there's so many competing flavors.
And it's just basically a drink
that's there to get you drunk.
I'm not gonna dive into the flavors too much,
because it is what it is.
But, thanks for watching.
Make sure you like and subscribe.
And I'll see you soon for another cocktail video.
Cheers.
I'll try it with a little bit more sugar.
Just seven and a half mil.
I don't think I mentioned,
but like the other drinks,
you can shake and strain, and put it into a glass.
Or you can just build it over the top,
which is most likely what people will do.
Little bit better, just that touch of sugar.
Cheers.
