If anyone is wondering, Long Island Iced Tea was created in the 70s by a bartender we called Rosebud (real name Robert Butt). He served it at the Oak Beach Inn in Hampton Bays, L.I. It was presented over ice in a tall slender iced tea glass with a twisted lemon peel and a straw. Rosebud always made sure it was fizzing when he served it. I remember having two there one night in 1974, and almost falling off the stool.
By the mid 80s, you could order it at practically any bar in the country, and the recipes varied. This is the recipe from the Oak Beach Inn:
An ounce of rum, an ounce of gin, an ounce of vodka, an ounce of tequila, a half-ounce of triple sec, a dash of lemon juice and a splash of Coke.
I would add subtle navy blue accents. I would start by adding white cabinet knobs with a deep blue floral design. Then, I'd add an old spice rack or shelf repainted deep blue. You didn't mention the color of your walls, but sponge stenciling here and there can add just the amount of a third color you want, without being overpowering. A kitchen could always use a wall clock, and they come in many accent colors. ... View related article.

I can offer advice that will prevent future dying grass.
