Dockside fit
Long Island Iced Tea belongs in the Docktails section as an after-cruise drink, not an underway drink. Treat it as a marina, mooring, or backyard-dock recipe for when the boat is secured and the day's navigation is finished.
Boat-friendly serving notes
- Use insulated or shatter-resistant drinkware instead of glass near docks, decks, and swim platforms.
- Pre-chill mixers and citrus so the cooler does not have to carry extra ice just for drinks.
- Batch only the non-carbonated parts ahead of time; add soda, tonic, bubbles, or garnish at serving time.
- Keep water and zero-proof choices beside the alcoholic option so the sober captain and guests have equal footing.
Boating safety note
21+ where applicable. Drink responsibly, never drink while operating a boat, and always keep a sober captain for any move away from the dock.
