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.
