With four spirits and one liqeuer, this isn't a cocktail for the faint of heart.
cola, and if you’re feeling fancy, some lemon juice, the Long Island Iced Tea is a potent cocktail filled with a range of flavors. The base of the spirits alone range from agave to potatoes, grains, and sugarcane, but the flavors blend in a mysteriously delicious way. The drink is lightly sweet with a gentle cola flavor, and with the addition of lemon juice, can have a nice balance of acid.
Like many iconic cocktails, the Long Island Iced Tea has two dueling origin stories. The first takes place on Long Island in New York, the stretch of land that hugs the Connecticut shoreline. The cocktail is said to have been invented in 1971 by a Long Island-based bartender for a drinks competition. The other story dates back to Prohibition — a cocktail area known for notoriously high-proof drinks—where it was invented by residents in Kingston, Tennessee in a community called Long Island.
No matter its origins, this classic cocktail is one to remember — or, well, to at least try to remember. Add a big lemon wedge for some high-end flare and sip a Long Island Iced Tea with ease, and potentially some caution, too. Cheers!
