The Long Island Iced Tea is one of the most debated cocktails, with several origin stories, but it rose to fame in the late twentieth century. Despite its name, it contains no tea at all.
It combines multiple spirits with citrus and cola, creating a drink that is stronger than it seems. The balance can be surprisingly smooth when done properly. It is a cocktail that has earned its reputation.
