Classic Long Island Iced Tea

By: Michelle P. E. Hunt and Laura Panter



Whether Long Island Iced Tea was invented in Long Island or was named for a long, tall island cocktail, the drink has been a perennial summer favourite for decades.

To clarify, first, it doesn't actually contain any tea, and second, despite being made with five spirits, it is a smooth, light and refreshing beverage

1. Fill a zombie glass with ice. Add 1/3 oz each vodka, gin, rum, white tequila triple sec.

2. Add 2 oz tart lemonade and top with cola.

3. Garnish with a lemon wheel.

Candy Cane Red Velvet Trifle

By: Eshun Mott

This trifle takes trendy red velvet cake right into the holiday season. Red and white layers visually mimic a candy cane and a hint of pepper mint balanced against cream cheese and white chocolate takes it over the top for a trifle all ages can enjoy. If you can’t find peppermint oil for the cream, you can substitute about ½ tsp (2 mL) peppermint extract. For a different presentation, this recipe works equally well made in 6 to 8 individual portions.
