Long Island Iced Tea![]() ![]() Long Island Iced Tea - my favorite cocktail. Contrary to popular belief, Long Island Iced Tea doesn't contain any tea or iced tea in its ingredients. It's made up of 5 white spirits; vodka, white rhum, white tequila, gin, and cointreau or triple sec, topped off with cola on a high ball glass. This results in an "iced tea" colored drink, hence the name.
Long Island Iced tea has a much higher alcohol concentration (~28%) than most cocktails because of the proportionally small amount of mixer. Long Island Iced Tea trivia: It was claimed that this famous drink was created during Prohibition Era when bartenders were trying to disguise alcoholic drinks to avoid the law. Long Island Iced Tea: Glass: Highball Glass Ingredients: 1 part Vodka 1 part White Rhum 1 part White Tequila 1 part Gin 1 part Cointreau or Triple Sec Add ice cubes, fill with coke, and stir. Garnish with a slice of lemon. Drink, enjoy, and make sure you have a designated driver because this drink packs a punch. Hehe. Commentskagedfish
