Long island iced tea is an elegant, refreshing cocktail that puts you in the weekend party mode right at first sip. The long island iced tea is as popular even today as it was when it first came into being in the 70s and remains everyone's all-time favorite cocktail across the globe. The craze for it just keeps growing bigger and better. As the name suggests, surprisingly iced tea isn’t one of the many ingredients added to the drink. In fact the reason behind the name is that the colour of the drink is similar to the mocktail iced tea. It is strong enough to give you just the right amount of light buzz you need and balances with a subtle sweetness. So let‘s get drunk without actually getting drunk with this classic summer cocktail. It is typically a mixed drink made by adding equal measures of rum, gin, vodka, tequila and a splash of cola or iced tea, depending on one’s taste and preference. Throughout many places such as New York, you will find this drink with as many variations as one might want. How amazing is that, isn't it? Sometimes instead with the splash of cola or sprite, lime soda or juices are used as a substitute.
