FAQ's
What is the ideal glassware for serving Alaska Ice Tea?
The Alaska Ice Tea is best served in a Highball glass. This type of glassware is ideal because it has a tall, narrow body which helps to showcase the vibrant color of the cocktail while also providing enough room to top the drink with Lemon-Lime soda, creating the perfect balance of flavors.
Can I substitute Blue Curaçao with something else in Alaska Ice Tea?
Yes, if Blue Curaçao is not available, you can substitute it with Triple Sec or another orange-flavored liqueur. Keep in mind, however, that substituting Blue Curaçao will change the signature blue color of the Alaska Ice Tea. If maintaining the color is important, you might consider adding a dash of food coloring to imitate the blue hue.
Is it necessary to stir the Alaska Ice Tea, or can it be shaken instead?
The Alaska Ice Tea is specifically designed to be stirred, not shaken. Stirring gently combines the ingredients without creating the frothiness that shaking would produce, preserving the smooth texture and clarity of the drink which is essential to its character.
How does the alcohol content of Alaska Ice Tea compare to a regular Long Island Ice Tea?
Alaska Ice Tea has an alcohol content of about 11.67%, which is relatively lower than a traditional Long Island Ice Tea. A standard Long Island Ice Tea, due to its combination of several spirits, usually has an alcohol content closer to 22%. Thus, the Alaska Ice Tea is a lighter alternative, both in terms of flavor and alcohol strength.
What are some ways I can customize the Alaska Ice Tea to suit my taste?
To customize the Alaska Ice Tea, consider varying the proportions of the spirits according to your taste preference. Adding more Lemon-Lime soda to dilute the drink can make it less strong. Introducing fresh fruit garnishes like lemon or lime wedges, or even mint leaves, can add a refreshing twist and enhance the visual appeal of the drink.
