The Long Island Ice Tea cocktail has a story to tell you
Ironically containing no tea, the Long Island Ice Tea cocktail has a story to tell that we have summarized for you.
A relatively young cocktail, the Long Island Ice Tea does not contain tea, but it does originate on Long Island, specifically at the Oak Beach Inn in Hampton Bays. Or at least this is said to be the most accurate theory.
Some 32 years ago Oak Beach Inn bartender Rosebud Butt invented the drink in 1976 and it became popular in this decade.
Despite its crazy mix of ingredients, of which four liqueurs, plus cola and lemon juice, the Long Island Ice Tea recipe works very well. It is necessary to know that the cocktail is heavy in alcohol and it is advisable not to overdo it! The Long Island Ice Tea is a cocktail that you either like it or you don’t like it, plain and simple.
