A Long Island Iced Tea is a cocktail that combines vodka, tequila, rum, gin, triple sec, and cola. It is a popular party drink due to its high alcohol content and refreshing taste.
The Long Island Iced Tea was invented in the 1970s by Robert “Rosebud” Butt at the Oak Beach Inn in Long Island, New York. Butt created the drink as a way to use up excess liquor. The drink quickly became popular with the bar’s patrons and eventually spread to other bars and restaurants.
