Glass Guide- Collins Glass

The Tornado is a strong mixed drink that makes a great visual impression. It's similar to a Long Island Iced Tea, complete with four spirits and a shot of cola, but this one is a little different. The manner in which it is prepared and served is integral into the effect and name behind the drink. When done right you'll have a miniature twister inside your glass, complete with flying debris (ice and sugar).

Ingredients:

  • 1 oz whiskey
  • 1 oz vodka
  • 1 oz rum
  • 1 oz tequila
  • cola
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 3 ice cubes

Preparation:

  1. Stir the liquors with ice.
  2. Strain into a collins glass.
  3. Add sugar and stir again.
  4. Add ice then cola.
  5. Stir three times and serve with a straw.
