boozin on a thursday nite

i know there are a plethora of sites out there that help you make a cocktail from random ingredients that most regular drinkers have around the house. input 3 or more different boozes/mixers/garnishes and it spits out a drink possibility. personally, i've never been happy with the results ... maybe i've only had incompatible mixing agents, but i would rather assume that those websites are just not very good. that being said, i was itching for a drink tonite after finishing a bottle of wine and so took a chance .. so without further ado ... if yer in a pinch, and you happen to have these items available, here is an excellent cocktail....

• 3 ice cubes
• 4 parts brewed iced tea (unsweetened)
  
• 3 parts rum (flavored rum works well too, i used raspberry rum as it was all that was available)
• 1 part triple sec
• 1 sprig of fresh mint
• serve in an old-fashioned glass
  

it's a little sweeter then i usually prefer in a drink, but then beggars can't be choosers.
i think with a lil' more triple sec and maybe a less sweet rum this could be a really amazing drink. the triple sec helps to bring out the "leafy" taste of the iced tea which is the flavor i prefer when sipping on tea.

so, in honor of today, it shall be called The Landmine.
