Notes

Sweetness: If you prefer sweeter cocktails, use 1 ounce of blue curaçao.
Shake or stir: Shaking the ingredients with ice will give you the best results. But you can make a quick and easy version by pouring the ingredients into an ice-filled glass, stirring, and then topping it with ginger ale. 
Make a pitcher: To make blue Long Island iced teas for a party, fill a pitcher with ice, add ½ cup each of the liquors, 1 cup of blue curaçao, 1 cup of lemon juice, and 4 cups of ginger ale.
