About Long Island Iced Tea
Contains five different spirits: vodka, gin, rum, tequila, and triple sec, plus cola. Invented by Robert Butt in Long Island, New York. Despite the name, it contains no tea. Tastes deceptively sweet for something that is essentially pure alcohol. A single drink can contain 4-5 standard shots.
