The Long Island Iced Tea
The Long Island Iced Tea is a potent cocktail composed of a mixture of various spirits. It is often referred to as a "disguised" cocktail because, despite its name and appearance, it is perceived as a milder drink, although it is indeed very strong. Despite its name and appearance, the Long Island Iced Tea contains no tea. Instead, it is made from Vodka, Gin, White rum, Tequila Silver, Triple Sec Curaçao, lemon juice, and orange juice, all combined in a glass with cola and ice. This cocktail was invented in the 1920s during Prohibition in the USA. It is said that the cocktail was named after Long Island in New York, where it was supposedly first served at a country club. The Long Island Iced Tea is a very strong cocktail, often served as a party or bar drink. Due to its high alcohol content, it is recommended to drink it slowly and avoid consuming too much at once.
