Long island iced tea recipe?

I want to make a good long island iced tea, like one you would get at a chilis or other restaurant. I have searched the land of google and all the recipes I have found dont quite cut it. I have good quality liquor. Please lend me your wisdom.

    Take Lisa's recipe, definitely use sour mix, and add a splash of coke on top. The little bit of coke is what will make it taste like "tea" instead of a bunch of shots thrown together.

    Long Island is equal parts all the clear liquors and a mixer. Vodka, Gin, Triple Sec, Rum, & Tequila. Some people also add sweet/sour mix and/or lemon juice.

    If you remove the mixer and replace with Chambord (raspberry liquor), you have Purple Rain.
