A Long Island iced tea is a mixed cocktail originating in the prohibition era and made popular in New York speakeasies. Despite its name, the drink does not contain any tea whatsoever.
Ingredients
- ¼ part vodka
- ¼ part white rum
- ¼ part gin
- ¼ part tequila or triple sec
- 1 part sweet and sour mix OR lemon/lime juice to taste
- 1 splash cola or coffee liqueur
- Lemon, sliced for garnish
Procedure
Shaken method
- Shake all the ingredients except the cola with ice in a cocktail shaker.
- Strain into a highball glass.
- Float the cola on the top and serve with a lemon slice.
Stirred method
- Fill a highball glass until it's almost full with ice.
- Add vodka, gin, rum, and tequila.
- Add sweet and sour mix, leaving some room on top.
- Splash in the cola and enjoy.
Notes, tips, and variations
- Don't forget—it has to look like an iced tea, so don't add too much cola.
- To make a Long Beach Tea, use cranberry juice instead of cola.
