Hot Lips Coney Island Midnight Iced Tea

A showstopper that lights up any night, this cocktail brings the electric boardwalk energy to your glass—sassy cherry-red, crackling with cinnamon spice, and as bold as a Coney Island midnight. Sweet fruit punch plays with citrus and fiery cinnamon whiskey, while a backbone of classic spirits gives this iced tea its undeniable strength. Glass: Tall Collins or Hurricane Glass Ingredients: - ½ oz Vodka - ½ oz White Rum - ½ oz Blanco Tequila - ½ oz Gin - ½ oz Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Fire - 3–5 oz Fanta Fruit Punch Soda (chilled) - Ice cubes - Maraschino cherry or lemon wedge, for garnish Instructions: 1. Fill your Collins or hurricane glass full of ice cubes. 2. Add vodka, white rum, tequila, gin, and Tennessee Fire. 3. Top off with chilled Fanta Fruit Punch Soda until the glass is nearly full. 4. Stir gently to blend, watching the fiery cherry-red swirl through the ice. 5. Garnish with a maraschino cherry for extra sweetness, or a zesty lemon wedge for contrast. Optional Stronger Version: Increase each base spirit to ¾ oz but keep Tennessee Fire at ½ oz for a bolder hit. Tasting Notes: The first sip gives a wave of playful cherry-citrus, chased quickly by a sly, lingering cinnamon warmth. Both sweet and hot, it’s a carnival for your palate—lively, vivid, and just a little bit dangerous. Signature tagline: Sweet on the Lips. Fire on the Tongue. Trouble from Coney Island. Note: This recipe packs over 2 oz of spirits even in the standard pour—treat it with respect!
