Whoa big fella. Drinks you buy in a bar all have about one (or two, maybe, depending on the bar) shots of alcohol in them, making them as strong or a little stronger than a beer. Your concoction is 5/7th's liquor. Dial the sweet and sour WAY up and the liqour WAY back and you might get something you are more familiar with.
Edit: found a recipe you'll probably be happier with:
Quote:
The ingredients for Long Island Iced Tea vary from establishment to establishment, as does the price. The basic recipe at Gadgets
(Westbury--ed.) is one-half ounce each of rum, vodka, gin and Triple Sec, three ounces of sour mix and a dash of Pepsi-Cola or Coca-Cola, spin-blended, poured over ice and served with a lemon wedge. At Emmett's (Carle Place--ed.), one half ounce of tequila is added.

So, in 'parts' terms, if you were following your recipe, that would be SIX (6) parts sweet and sour...not 2.
