Long Island Iced Tea is the ultimate party cocktail mix with a strong blend of tequila, rum, vodka, gin, triple sec and a splash of cola.
The Long Island Iced Tea is claimed to have originated as an entry into a contest to create a new mixed drink with triple sec in 1972 New York. Served on the rocks, it combines gin, tequila, vodka, rum and triple sec for a cocktail with a much higher alcohol content than most highball drinks. The added splash of cola gives it an iced tea hue, yet most variations do not include any tea.
