Long Island Iced Tea
How much tea is in Long Island Iced Tea? None. It only looks like iced tea: four spirits, triple sec, sour mix and a splash of cola for the color. Bartender Bob “Rosebud” Butt says he made it for a cocktail contest at the Oak Beach Inn on Long Island, New York, in 1972. Kingsport, Tennessee, claims an older version from its own Long Island.
