Is it bad to pre-mix Long Island Ice Teas?

Nonetheless, there's nothing wrong with just trying what happens when
pre-making certain parts of the drink. Maybe it isn't as bad as I
think it will be.
> So what is your recipe? Do you use some sort of sugar?
No additional sugar in any form. I usually take:
2/3 oz. vodka
2/3 oz. Cointreau
2/3 oz. rum
2/3 oz. tequila
2/3 oz. gin
1 1/3 oz. lemon juice
Shake the above ingredients with four ice cubs, strain into a long-drink
glass with four ice cubs (mine is actually a little bigger than the
convential glass; around 8 1/2 oz.) and fill with Coca Cola so that the
fluffy crown exceeds the glass brim. I use Coca Cola light or even the
decaf version which both work very well.
> Do you use equal parts rum, tequila, gin, vodka, and tripple sec?
Yes, which also makes it easy to memorize this receipe. :-) Note that I
am using Cointreau which is just a tad sweeter than triple sec. Probably
it doesn't make such a difference for a drink with five different
liquors.
