Talk:Long Island iced tea

Ambiguous sentence

 * Close variants often replace the sour mix with lemon juice, replace the cola with diet cola or actual iced tea.

I am having trouble parsing this sentence. Does the comma mean "and" or "or"? Could this be clarified? J I P &#124; Talk 10:41, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Sources for history
Here are a few sources I found that might help clarify the history. Not all are RS so use with care. I'm not convinced the drink actually appeared in Betty Crocker in 1961. Looking for a copy now.

 * The New York is non-RS and has been some time. It is complete unreliable. Never use to reference in an article. Huff-post is slightly better, but depends on the contributor or topic. Best avoided if your not sure.  scope_creep Talk  06:13, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Old Man Bishop's recipe
Old Man Bishop's recipe was specifically requested as part of the recent GA Review. I agree that we don't need dozens of random recipes from various lifestyle magazine, but this one in particular is significant because it claims to be the original recipe, about which there is some doubt. I suggest we leave it in, but at the least I think we need consensus to remove it at this point. GA-RT-22 (talk) 19:25, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
